People would just do that, but an app can harvest soooo much more telemetry data. Business executives will claim the app provides a "richer experience," by which they mean they'll experience getting richer by harvesting more customer data to sell.

Also creates a self sense of commitment so abandoning rates are lower. There is no friction in closing a tab as it is in uninstalling an app.

And they can screw over the web experience, by offering lower bitrate and missing features, even if the app is just a browser, too.
