Its fairly ridiculous to propose that the only reason that any developer is interested in build mobile web apps is that they are ignorant of all other platforms
Read again what I wrote. I clearly did not say that "ignorance is the only reason", or anything of that nature. Please refrain from making misrepresentations like that which you've just made, Dale Harvey.
Ignorance, however, does play a more significant role that you seem to believe, or would like to admit. Many of these developers do lack experience with languages that offer proper class-based OO support, namespaces, modularity, and other core functionality that JavaScript is missing, or has poorly tacked on (I'm looking at you, CommonJS).
