I actually often prefer using apps over websites, because my phone is quite slow and using a browser is often way slower than an app.
Particularly since some companies have made their websites intentionally shit so that you'd be encouraged to use the app instead. I noticed that with out local flavour of door dash, where the website got slower and clunkier and generally more shit right around the same time that the "Use our app!" banners got more obnoxious.
This doesn’t have to be the case but developers have been chasing bloated fads/frameworks for the over a decade instead of being reasonable with their technology. Résumé-driven development…? YAGNI.
