I had the first iPhone pre-app store and lemme tell you, those web apps sucked.

Even if you wanted to play a simple game like darts, you better hope your Edge connection was up to the task. There was zero offline utility to be had with the webapps, and back then reception just sucked everywhere, even metropolitan areas.

Some apps are genuinely useful to have offline. Some apps can go to hell and be a web page.
