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 Currently working in brick-and-mortar retail and one sensible answer is, because you need to do some things while physically present in the store or at the checkout. An online store doesn't need it, you're right.
