That's the system working as intended. Why would they invest in making the site better on smaller displays (i.e. mobile) when their priority is to get you to use the app? From the normal not long term enough business perspective, doing so could only cannabalize those conversions to the app that would have otherwise happened. And conversion rate from web to app is almost certainly a explicitly tracked metric.

I don't think it is. If this was the main goal they would have just done nothing. Instead they rolled out a design which sucks for both desktop as well as maintaining shittiness on mobile..
