Controversial opinion. I love apps.

(Only because in my company, we created a app team to hire more developers and while our website absolutely doubles as a really fucking good web app, we hinder it in order to keep our app developer homies employed.)

im convinced 99% of app development is just for enhanced tracking and telemetry. Most are a browser in app anyway
