Taking twitter for example, it is rendering content in a native app when you're looking at tweets. The content is delivered in json (or whatever) standard format and rendered in native controls, namely tableViewCells. Webkit is used if you look at a web page... but otherwise it is native.
The flexibility and quality you get by taking web "content" via json (rather than HTML) and rendering it natively is a huge win.
I don't see android customers paying for websites wrapped in an app anymore than I see iOS users paying for it, actually less.
Of course if you're making SaaS such as base camp then you can do native clients on either platform.... and sell them successfully... while selling a specialized web browser (That just gives you the base camp website in WebKit) wouldn't likely fly.
