Isn't your phone providing a sandbox, a distribution system, a set of common runtime services, etc to get these native apps functional?

You don't have to squint your eyes to realize that this thing we call "document browsers" are doing a lot of the same work that Apple/Google are doing with their mobile OSes.

You mean like Windows Store, Mac App Store, apt, yum/dnf, emerge,....?

All the OS frameworks that are available across most operating systems that don't fragment themselves into endless distributions?
