#2I wonder how templates stock sites like Themeforest affects the designers business. Now to start your web app, you don't really need a designer, but just $20 or less and you get something very good for the little money you put.

#3(native) Mobile apps in the same price range as websites? That's really not my experience; it's most of the time double or triple what a website with similar functionality would cost.

As a designer myself, I think templates are great. The reality is that most business don't need a completely custom template, especially if they're still in that MVP stage.
So when you're starting out and don't have a big budget, by all means use a template. I would much rather work with your company when it's more mature and money is less of a concern.
To put in another way, template are in competition with cheap cookie-cutter design (e.g. crowdsourcing sites), not higher quality design.

#5This should really just be a graph with two lines:
A very small one that says 'As much as I quoted', and a far larger line that says 'Much more than I quoted'.

I was surprised by the results myself, I expected the average price for a mobile app to be much higher than for a website.
But more and more designers are focusing on mobile design. Just a year or two ago it was still a fairly rare specialization, but if you browse Dribbble you'll see that most good designers have at least one or two mobile projects in their portfolio. So that might be one reason why prices are being driven down.

I've been quoted $20k+ for a mobile app of any complexity

It's seems to be the price for the design only, no coding.

Just for the design? Was that an agency or freelancer? Seems pretty expensive for a freelancer, at least according to the survey results (and my own experience).
