We already have super apps, they’re called Android and iOS.

Countries developed super app ecosystems because poorly localized software meant you can’t just install whatever you want off the app store and expect it to be in a language you know, able to work with your phone carrier, and able to work with your payment provider.

Wow, a “one app for everything” model, how horribly inconvenient and obnoxious!

I would much rather download multiple apps on my phone, each from a tech company that has a monopoly on their pertinent share of the market. Although this may be inconvenient to some who have a disdain for American freedom and enterprise, I will not be shaken by CCP propaganda or anything that might shake the country I hold dear!!! #RESIST #HARRIS2028

We-chat = Bad

In a socialist society perhaps this would be less of a concern, but my main gripe with this type of approach is the centralization of data and the havoc it would wreak on digital privacy. As it stands, I can compartmentalize what companies have access to this information or that information, and have exceptions in my security modeling for specific services. If one company has a data breach, that’s more tolerable because they have the minimal amount of data necessary on me and I gave them a unique email and password. If all my apps were combined, then I’m at the mercy of one company to maintain my security, and if there’s a leak then everything is compromised. Additionally, I pick and choose who I trust and what data is exposed to which parties under the individual app per service model. With a super app, if they are spying on metadata or god forbid not using encryption and just reading my messages etc, then they have all of it and I have no protection
