Ye gods people.

The entire article is saying "I used to believe it was too expensive to do native apps so we did web, I now believe I was wrong, even though it may seem cheaper at first the costs of the web are far less predictable and it's now economically better to just do native apps"

But the author didn't actually compare the difficulties and costs of web development to native development. The article just lists a bunch of (debatably valid) difficulties of web development. But most (all?) software development has difficulties and annoyances.
