The only bit that supports your argument is

> The App Store came later and apparently as a reaction to jailbreakers and developer backlash.

Which doesn’t have any source.

> because web apps sucked so much

Where did you get this?

PS: As Steve Jobs was good friends with Larry Ellison, I can imagine he truly believed web apps would be sufficient (as Ellison was a long time proponent of them already).

However I think while web apps can be „good enough“ [1] for many business applications (i.e. basically data entry and reporting), they weren’t good enough for what consumers wanted.

[1] I mean people still accept suffering from stuff like SAP

Where did I get this? I was there - I remember it.
