Yes, I totally see your point. Gmail and similar offers are convenient, which means that native software has some very stiff competition and not a lot of adoption.
I'm interested in frugal computing, and I want my software to run smoothly on a Raspberry Pi if at all possible. So I do have some demand for a native program or, rather, set of programs.
Besides, on a principle level, I fail to see how something as simple as e-mail should need (or be allowed to use) something as complicated and resource-hungry as a web browser.
