Even if not locked into an ecosystem, we're still locked in what the app providers support. That includes a lot more companies that do apps, like for :
* games
* trains
* banks
* messaging (Whatsapp-like)
* ...
(For banks, trains and a lot others, mobile websites usually do a great job, and lower this requirement, if web browsing is correctly supported on the chosen platform)

I agree on this common denominator though.
