ive never understood why the ‘browser app’ isnt leveraged more. they are general purpose, multimedia, secure and mature. we spent decades making the mobile browsers very useful, and then build apps that just encapsulate a website. what an incredibly inefficiency
A shocking number of users would be hard pressed to figure out how to type in a url to a mobile web browser… or even know what that is, and they deserve a nice user interface too. App stores make it easier to find, too.

Apps can harvest more data. Aside from use cases where high performance is required, that’s about the only reason.

Counter point: Once in a while, people should be expected to reach up a little bit instead of society constantly dumbing itself down.
