>>Not sure what you mean ... what kind of clever feature do customers look for, that an hybrid app can't address?
Sounds like science fiction to me...
>>What not just remain factual, discuss what customers really need today and how we can address these needs, rather than waving as a necessity something that we don't even know if it'll ever happen?

Utilizing hardware features has been a known advantage of native apps for years. As a trivial example, Android's "back" button allows a different screen interface compared to iOS that needs a screen button. As a more advanced example, IMHO people who purchased the latest Android phones because of facial recognition interfacing features will expect that to work in their business apps too. They won't want plain screen GUI because somebody else insists this is the way business apps should be done. It's accelerating: the new Google chips to allow gesturing to control devices will be an expectation for people who buy a device because it has the feature.

I'm not convinced you can segregate the market into business and consumer uses that are assigned different needs. People choose a comfortable device and want to use it, period.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
