Yes; a lot of companies that want to make their services available to mobile users (which is a pretty damn large market) but do not have the capacity or do not want to invest in native apps will want their developers to build a mobile webapp, responsive website, or hybrid app.

Disclosure: I'm rebuilding a pretty big BackboneJS app (which I started building two years ago with a team that grew to two dozen people) into an AngularJS-based mobile webapp.

Note also that AngularJS is a whopping 700 KB before minification and gzipping (270 KB minified/gzipped).

Did you add an extra zero in gzipped size for a previous version ? Current AngularJS is 36KB minified/gzipped, 100KB minified

Here is the file http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.14/angular.min.js And here you can get the gzipped size http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home
