What difference does it make to them? Why are apps pushed so aggressively when they have to maintain the desktop site anyway?

Everyone is mentioning ads and data collection, but I think it’s simpler than that: when you install an app it shows up on your phone’s home screen where you see it all the time. That might encourage you to use it more often.

Second, sometimes an app can do more than a website can do.
