I agree wrt Facebook, but there’s a long tail of useful apps-that-should-be-websites; 1 click for an app versus 45 seconds searching through tabs and re-logging in (etc) can be meaningful, especially when there are fifty of them.

My healthcare provider recently yanked the mobile version of their portal website, and forces users to download their app. Personally, I see the security angle, but still feel like it’s a punch in the face and so I just went back to paper billing and using a PC for healthcare stuff. More of this is coming, I suspect.
