Google's vision: Web Party People! Web apps can (eventually) use all native APIs and device functionality.

Apple's vision: VIPs Only! Full access to native APIs and all device functionality is only permitted from apps approved by Apple, and even then it's fairly strictly controlled. But you can stream games (e.g. Luna) and video in Safari if you want to.

Fortunately nobody's forcing you to buy an iOS or Android device.
