Banking apps come to mind.

This is the only reason my phone's not running Lineage. I need those apps mainly for 2fa (some banks don't give me any alternative) or for one or two with no web app.

It feels like a total artificial duopoly, you only get to use your essential service on android or ios.

what would a banking app do that a bank website can't, exactly?

  • IIRC some finance apps either don't have web sites that can perform financial transaction, or are lacking a number of features of the mobile app. Cash App and Venmo used to be some of the worst offenders, but have improved in recent times.
