Multiple apps are running their own PDS, new users to their app go there by default, but it is app by app.

I believe every bsky mobile app is likely pointed at a single app view, but there's no reason they cannot offer a setting, which now after typing that, maybe I do recall someone saying they did that with their app.

There are dozens of Bluesky apps now, some even have highly requested features. I't part of the beauty of ATProto, anyone can build a client for any one (or more) app views. There are alternative ways, eg. use Slices for queries, write directly to PDS, no app view needed for any app in the atmosphere.

It really feels like folks are trying to find a single whole they can poke and claim some win. Time continues to flow, the atmosphere continues to grow, and if you get tuned in and join us, Oh The Places You'll Go!
