I think that's a fair statement. Another interesting factor is about the choices of businesses: which put in efforts to build good mobile web experiences vs. just being a driver for native app installs? Which/how many think only native is relevant? How will that shape the future?
"in the browser" may not literally mean "in the browser" -- nobody wants to type a URL on a mobile phone -- hence PWAs. Fugu fills out the general PWA approach for more classes of app. It's all of a piece.

PWAs etc. are still "in the browser" for most practical purposes. My problem with what's happening with Fugu, as I said in (much later) tweets in the original thread, is that so many of the classes of apps are unlikely to account for more than a very small % of user time.

If you're framing the web crisis as "users spend a small % in browsers" then surely you need to chase after the largest apps which users spend the majority of their time in?
