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?

I am going to answer this question under the assumption it is not rhetorical. If it is, my apologies.

Apps give access to a great deal more of our personal data than websites do. This makes apps far more profitable. The corporations push apps by killing their own websites the way AI tools were pushed by the intentional killing of Google search's usefulness.

They want to profit from our data.

Thanks. Yeah, that was my assumption, as well.

Dystopian. I feel that the internet I loved is getting destroyed more and more every day.

And all because of GREED. It's all driven by greed, by people who already have more money than they can spend, and that's the absolute worst.
