Perhaps not prohibitive, although given for what prices we sell phones
I suspect there are markets where it very well might be. As the web
becomes more capable however, it is starting to become a strange
proposition for us to only support a closed ecosystem for
applications.

It could be that GitHub and such are sufficient though and Mozilla
does not need to get into this game. GitHub has the combination of
static files and TLS that enables service worker applications:

We just need to focus on exposing more APIs to such applications.
