    I think it’s the same deal as search engines : people have been made too unaware of what is on their devices. Every service needs its own app or people will just not dare to “tinker”.

      We’re at an insane level of stupid. I had to buy a new smartphone in an emergency yesterday, and the onboarding runs as follows :

      1. “What browser do you want to use?” Firefox
      2. “What search engine do you want to use? (Non skipable)” Ecosia

      This results in installing two separate apps : Firefox and Ecosia

        Which is intentional. It’s Googles way to make you annoyed enough to not choose anything but their apps…
