The thing google, and apple need to protect is there distribution channel, not there platform. If you lock down your distribution platform you can charge 30% for recurring subscriptions. This incentivizes companies like Apple, and Google to not optimize the experience of packaging, and installing mobile apps over the air. They don't want to hobble there web experience though, as that is something many people do on their phones. Things like WebGL will make it into phones eventually, standards are just slow. Google has already started to implement the Device API in honeycomb.
