Building a great mobile website is much harder than building a great mobile app, so I understand when they just don't build a great website to begin with, but taking away an existing website, yeah, that sucks.

Are you a web developer and an equally good app developer to make such a statement?

Yes.

I have doubts. Great website developers often make a half-assed app by wrapping the website in a crippled browser. The T-Mobile app is not even subtle about this, there was a URL bar in the version I last used.

You're talking about Cordova. Cordova can actually be pretty good, if it's made well (for example, the Voyager Lemmy app is a Cordova app), but no, I make apps with native UIs.
