The problem comes when it’s not an app you’re using for the app’s sake, but because it’s the app of some company you have a real-world relationship with. Your bank’s app being the most important one that comes to my mind, considering I’ve already heard about some banks trying to restrict users to only Google’s flavour of Android before this.
Honestly other than a fingerprint lock, I’ve found the apps suck compared to just a browser on a PC anyhow. Half the apps could just be webpages, and a bunch of those are just wrappers to a web rendering layer anyhow

and that’s important why? pick a different bank, or don’t use the app at all.
I get that some folks think using the app is a requirement. that may be true for some but not all.
don’t support shitty services and these companies won’t continue to abuse us.
