It's easier to remember example.com than example.app, so it matters in contexts where someone has to remember an URL. Imagine nike.get - sounds like a scam. Big serious brands have a .com. And now you have the association: if you have a .com then you're a big serious brand. > Or prepend "get" or append "app" to the name to obtain the dot com TLD.
This is bad advice - always check if the word is trademarked. I learned it the hard way - I was running mentionme.app and mention.com sent me a cease and desist letter, since they own the word "mention". Similarly Facebook sent a cease and desist letter to openbook.social. I'm collecting cases like this, as I recently had to go through the rename. If you know more please let me know.
