My bank requires it, for better or for worse.
Any bank transfers are MFAd via the app, for example. It's the only bank that allows non-citizens in Germany that has English correspondence and wouldn't have taken months in Bureaucracy to open an account when I first moved.
So you chose an app-only 'bank' such as Revolut?
What did people do before such apps?
I chose the only bank that'd allow me to accept a paycheck in a reasonable amount of time after moving across the planet, yes.
HSBC in the UK now blocks access to your accounts unless you use one of the allowed whitelisted keyboards.

I download less random program / files on my phone, then I do on my computer.

I don't understand what you mean.
