Yeah, super disingenuous. Especially considering PHP is already native (unless you mean specifically compiled code). It also has direct bindings to GTK:

http://gtk.php.net/

And other native libraries.

This project seems to conflate "native" with "has its own window" (versus running in a browser). While I would argue the more common understanding is "native" meaning "running outside of a sandbox/closed environment and directly on the OS". Ironically, using the latter definition, this project is less native than just coding PHP directly.
