There are surely other ways to achieve this. If you are logged into an app and the site at tbe same time they can use the server to communicate. Discord doesn't need to know if the app is installed to work. That sounds sketchy.

It's just a way to ensure you open the desired context on a local Discord instance, not any instance that might be logged in to your account. I have a few personal computers logged in on Discord on the same account that could be active at the same time for example.
