I understand the differences between an an and websites and why one would prefer to use one vs the other.

My question is about who would want to convert an app to a website for example for their business.

There are plenty of businesses out there who would benefit having their website as an app on their customers phone for easier access and they do not need to build a native (expensive) app.

As a customer I'll give this case. To control my smart speakers I need to use a mobile app. This is a problem because my wife and son do not use mobile devices, I have an iPad that I unlock with my fingerprint so they can't use it and it goes with me when I am out. I have a large number of cheap Android devices but I can't trust them to keep them charged... These are cheap Android devices, half the time you plug them into the wall and leave them there for 12 hours and they are still 0% charged.

If I could turn the mobile app into a desktop app or a web site then they could use the smart speakers with the computers and they'd think more of my "smart home" purchases.

I think some businesses think they want a mobile app but if they make their customers mad and sad they would be better off without it.
