Web technologies are much easier to work with and make a much better UI toolkit. Just look at the share amount of developers doing Web stuff and compare them with the amount of developers doing iOS. And btw, iOS development is easy for as long as you do not want to customize things. Once you start changing the standard controls you are entering the land of no return. Now compare this with web technologies which are designed to be customizable.

I think that is more because web apps can reach a much larger audience, not because web apps are easier to develop.
