No... As a user, one thing I notice is that older, non-HTML-based apps don't seem to follow "the rules." Text that I should be able to select and push "control/option C" just isn't selectable, or copy doesn't work.

Then I realized that browsers (and everything based on them) introduced some new paradigms to UI that native UI frameworks just haven't kept up with.

(And I say this as someone who prefers native apps over web-based apps.)
