>>>Curious...on the " I see no reason why an interpreted language can't be a standard, encapsulating and automating as many variabilities as possible under the hood"....why do you suppose that hasn't happened on any significant scale? (It's a rhetorical question, not necessarily looking for an answer)

Via Cordova Plugin SQLite as the local data engine per se is available on hybrid Phonegap, Appcelerator or - as long as the previous WebSQL is supported in _Webview - there) and Nativescript, via mini-Mongo something similar for the NoSQL supporters and something like AlaSQL or a LinQ clone for other predilictions.
IMO the troubling part lies in replication, where I did not find anything with exchangable backends and across desktop, Android and iOS clients.

Offline Views as part of the runtime I did not come across.
