I was a big WebOS advocate, and loved it very much. Owned 3 Pre series phones.

But you do have to admit that UI latency on it was quite high compared to iOS. I mean, so was Android back then, but they improved it significantly.

Exactly. Android had a native stack and it also had terrible performance. I don’t think it was any worse than WebOS’s.

There’s good reason to blelieve that given enough time and even a fraction of resources that the Android team had WebOS would be able to significantly up their performance game (I say a fraction of resources because there is a lot of well funded open source development being done to improve web tech on mobile, through Chromium, WebKit and Firefox that would be leveraged).
