The web is the platform, not Firefox OS.
This is true as long as your app does not depend on any WebAPI that is only 
available on Firefox OS.

If you use our unique WebAPIs in your apps then you have essentially written a 
‘native’ and non-portable app for a specific platform. Using user interface 
components that look good and consistent (native) on that platform is then a 
pretty logical next step for many developers I think.

The only logical next step is to make this WebAPI available in other
platforms.

This is probably idealistic and I perfectly see that we od have such
requests, and therefore it's probable a good idea to provide a set of
building blocks -- albeit not the same ones as our core apps.

This has definitely been the plan from the beginning -- to make these device APIs (WebAPIs) available on all platforms. It has never been an intention to make another proprietary platform. Here's some background on this:
