I didn't say they shouldn't support it, but I did say they shouldn't bring it as the Valhalla of Programming, because it most certainly isn't.
But why shouldn't a blame the standard or technology? The WHATWG and W3C are for a very large part responsible for the mess it is. But the real problem is there are so many developers which lack experience other than HTML/JS and now confuse its popularity with its quality.

I got the same idea after speaking with some WebOS application developers and studying how WebOS applications work a bit. There are some nice aspects and as long as you do the basic & supported stuff (thing shopping lists, twitter clients, RSS readers, simple encyclopedias) everything is alright.
But when you want to do some more advanced stuff - games, editors, terminal emulators, painting programs, video players - you either can't (all graphic intensive games on WebOS actually use SDL, not the Enyo or Mojo frameworks) or have to use horrible hacks. On of the devs mentioned writing a painting program - you can't access files directly from the HTML framework. He had to create a system service, serialize the bitmap to some plaintext xml message (yeah, really "<data>101010111010</data>) and send it to the service, which finally saved it as a file in storage.
Like this, it can be actually more difficult because of jumping through all the needless hops than just doing it the native way.

Few developers make me so angry as WhatsApp's ones. They just took XMPP, made a couple of changes so that it does not work with normal clients, forgot about any kind of security and call it a day. Their biggest idea is using phone numbers as identifiers and marketing their app as an SMS replacement instead of an internet chat.
