I don't like the term web-apps for this reason. Some places refer to them as apps using web technologies to indicate that the things involved are HTML+JS rather than things that come via a Web Server.
I don't think that makes it a semantic argument. I think it's more of semantic confusion. Too many people wanting different things are assembling under the one banner without realising how different their goals are.
I can make an app that does 90% of what I want quite quickly in HTML+JS, but I don't use that because I know the critical remaining 10% is impossible.
