It's wild how apple went from _there will be no app store_ and _everything will be a web app_ to walled gardens of native apps that lock users in.  And not just users but friends of users.  Apple was supposed to lean on the web for all of its apps.  It was Jobs's original vision, but it was shortlived for one version before the app store was launched.
