This is really nice context to have. I would generally agree with you that, in the current mobile IME landscape, it's hard-to-maybe-impossible to get close to the text editing UX of a native app with the web platform.
I guess my point of frustration is to watch project after project toss itself at the task of implementing a nice Medium-ish desktop UI, announce a new "standard" for JSON-based rich document serialization, get mobile support about 80% of the way there, and then just... leave it like that.
I don't have enough data to make a firm statement, but I would bet with confidence that that if you include native mobile apps in the calculation (iOS Notes app, Google Keep, Wordpress Mobile), mobile rich text editing is either more prevalent than desktop, or on a strong upward trend that will overtake desktop text editing in the next two years. The popularity of hybrid devices like the iPad pro, where you have a desktop-class processor and screen size but an iOS IME is only going to boost those numbers.
