E.g. iOS lets me use: Objective C, Swift, C#, F#, Java, Scala. All compiling to lower-level code that is either native to platform or native to the language.
Web lets me use: only JavaScript (that is written manually or transpiled).
Yes I will have to pay extra for some solutions, but I don't mind doing this as opposed to using language that I hate.
And Web Components are bringing innovation (component based app building) to rusty world of web dev which is not restricted to rich western society (Apple).
I stopped ranting on JS - just use lang with good enough IDE like Dartlang (DartEditor or IntelliJ)
PS: previous comment was not "ad persona" - but if you think transpilation is "lame" - you don't know how hard it's to make performant transpiler and how wonderful piece of tech are some of those transpilers

Society has lot of mobile OSes to chose from, not only from Apple.
