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 read Doctrow’s Enshittification. Apps have anti-tampering, anti-reverse engineering protections web sites lack.

I would assume Apps have that only if it's programmed into them.

But thanks, that is a good point to keep in mind.

I'm just so fed with creating accounts for every little service, giving them name, address birthday, they are all grabbing data when I don't really want them to.

@Firlefanz @slott56 Apps often have tracking built into them, whereas (some) web browsers let you defeat it.
