I finally got around to reading @timbray 's "Bye, Twitter" blog post that everyone's rightfully sharing, and the last paragraph of this section resonated.

@vmbrasseur @timbray it always surprises me how many people install apps instead of using the mobile versions through a browser. I’ve often heard it’s because of enhanced app functionalities. Would love to have more proof of that yet for now there are apps that have never been downloaded to my phone. I’m wondering if I’m the only done acting in such a way and if it changes anything.

My mobile browser regularly deletes all cookies etc.

If I didn't have separate apps for a lot of things, I would have to log in (as in: type in my username and password) again into any of these things, every time I want to use it...

Even on my laptop, I have a lot of things in separate desktop clients instead of using the web version - to take load away from the web browser and not rely on it for everything. It's a web browser, not an operating system...
