I described my own attitude, obviously companies are going to do what they want.

In this case, AllTrails has a perfectly functional website which they allow users to access from computer web browsers, but they force mobile phones (even when in "request desktop site" mode) to redirect to the app. If a site breaks in that mode it's on the user - I'm specifically requesting to get access to something they already provide and being denied.

This is especially egregious given how many "apps" are just websites in a wrapper anyway.

I think that sucks, and I'm entitled to my opinion. Now get off my lawn.
