Confirming the problem exists, and is imminent. Acknowledging it is hard to solve. However, it must be worked upon. UX depends on it.

An inordinately large number of web sites persistently advertise to "install our app" instead of providing the best web experience; an app which cannot be installed. This is exacerbated by the pervasiveness of webapps on Ubuntu phone, which simply embed the mobile web site with webapp-container, and still result in seeing such advertisements, despite the fact that the "app" on Ubuntu is already installed, and the Android apps being advertised are simply not installable. Having all the big web sites telling users of Ubuntu that they should be using Android instead, is not very good for the user experience at all.
