I don't think that's a fair comparison..

1) Web apps in this case are downloaded from an app store (and people complained about it too)

2) Average people also use fewer sites: I wouldn't be surprised if regular use comprehends just gmail/outlook, facebook, wikipedia, youtube/netflix

3) You need a browser running in the OS anyway

4) App -> sandbox -> OS vs. App -> Javascript sandbox/Nacl sandbox -> browser -> sandbox -> OS... The latter looks more secure to me
