The difference being that for native applications the computer doesn't download the whole program every time it's started – the executable won't be replaced without your permission. For web applications that control is taken from you and firmly lies with the site operators.

This disempowerment of the actual users IMO is a defining feature of dynamic web applications and it needs to die.
