Why in the world does every store, every service, every organization need an "app"?

What is wrong with having a decent, functioning website?

I do not want to read, buy, organize and research things in an "app". I want websites. I mean, why do we have those big screens, right?

I hate, hate, HATE apps. I hate having to use my phone.

Why is everyone trying to make me use a tiny screen, a crappy "keyboard" with minuscule keys, and insists that is progress?

@Firlefanz The argument I heard once upon a time was that the app is the same thing as the website, inside a wrapper that ensures that it can only open that one URL. I don't know what reality that argument was sourced from though, because while every modern app is a glorified website, it's also a shitty one that is measurably inferior to the company's actual website, and it turns out that "assume that there will never be a supply chain attack" is way worse than "I might typed an URL wrong."
