I don't agree, just because it is a click away don't mean the user stays long enough, does anything meaningful or even returns.

We primarely discussed the user acquisition costs in this thread and I pointed out a huge conversion breaker in the acquisition funnel of mobile which just let the costs skyrocket. If users stick or not after being acquired is as important but another discussion (rentention & churn).
If they click on link and close the window without doing anything relevant, they weren't acquired.
But the funnel till this point you mention is MUCH cheaper on the web than on mobile (where people also install and deinstall right away or never use that app). And this 'being cheaper' is the whole discussion around.
Well it is a matter how much marketing money you have spent to make them click on the link in first place.
