If you develop native applications you are at the mercy of established and restrictive stores, which are totally overcrowded and/or hard to get into. People generally don't like downloading things unless when it comes to pirating software, which they of course love. 

If you develop on the web this problem doesn't really vanish. You still have to pay a lot of attention so the size of your application, you can't just develop software that has to download 5 gig data upfront before it starts running and pretend you develop a native application, like most engines that compile to the web asssume. 

The problem is, most established tools are developed under the assumption that the size of your data doesn't really matter, and all data is already on the clients hard drive and relatively cheap to access. It has been optimized for developing applications to be distributed through upfront downloads or CDs/DVDs as a medium. But on the Web you're back to basically floppys that need to carry everything your App needs to *s
