"If anything OP should be grateful that the native app running on what was presumably his personal device didn't do anything worse."

I don't understand why any of these actions would be taken with a mobile phone ...

What I mean is, managing advertising campaigns and budgets and managing assets and spend, etc., is kind of a complicated workflow ... further, it's a fairly critical business process involving a lot of money.

I can see ordering some workroom supplies or paying a hosting bill with my phone ... but creating and managing ad campaigns ? That seems very unwieldy and inefficient. Google adwords, through the web based interface, is very complex and there's a lot of functions there. I can't imagine trying to do this on a phone.

So what am I missing here ?

It's not that unreasonable. When I am on the road, it can be days between sitting at a desktop. If I can do something on my mobile, I'll do it, or try.

I don't get involved in ad buys.

Laptops exist as a very efficient middle way between a desktop and a mobile phone: all the desktop functionality and the benefit of mobility. This is not an add :p
Yeah, except I cannot always carry around my laptop, as my small mobile is already heavy enough.

I don't understand the need for snark here on your part, do you not think I have already considered it?

By "desktop" I meant "desktop environment".
