Yeahh I hate how so many things are shifting to apps in general - I tried to volunteer to canvas for the Democratic challenger in my nearest swing district last month and literally could not because my phone still thinks I am in the UK and would not let me download the app they were using to send canvassers to houses - when for the most part the only thing apps do that a modern website does not is 'let companies get more information about you and your phone' but Apple especially has taken such a disturbing line on them I just. Augh. There's probably something about getting people so focussed on content (apps) they stop thinking about distribution (app stores) but it is a little too far past my bedtime for it rn.
