And fertility rates are dropping everywhere, and more people than ever are choosing to simply not have children.

Yet the population keeps going up and up and up and up and up and up.

I also see that you've never been to a park on a long weekend where every brown person family has at least 4-8 of their kids running around...

the fact that iPhone developers have to worry about whether their app is running on an older or a "retina display" iPhone is fragmentation.

Except they don't. iOS takes care of that for you. Bottom line is if you don't supply retina PNGs for your buttons, backgrounds and other visuals, your apps look like Minecraft. If you actually draw your graphics using Quartz 2D, then iOS does the right thing behind the scenes.

A web app should have direct access to an OpenGL.

No it shouldn't. I don't want to go to a web site and have all sorts of flying 3D shite on my screen. Flash is bad enough in this department.

HTML5 can play audio (usually poorly) but there is no API for recording it.

No there shouldn't be. I don't want to go to a web site and worry if it is recording me or not. Hello FBI, CIA, NSA, Facebook, Google, etc. - sod you with a stiff wire brush.

There should be a way to interface with cameras, etc.

No there shouldn't. I don't want to go to a web site and have the fumbducktards at the other end spying on me - see above.
