Native mobile apps have their permissions and access managed by the system, and are at least minimally inspected and approved on the system app store.

I'm really not sure I want my browser managing a second tier of these permissions, especially as it runs arbitrary code downloaded from the net. Maybe it's an artificial distinction, but I'd rather keep "code I stumble upon without even realising by browsing the web" very separate to "Things I give device access to".
