Just a small data point/anecdote: I think the calls to install native apps are actually decreasing now. I don't get spammed for that nearly as much as 2014-2018 or so. Even banks seem to be getting comfortable with making mobile optimized websites now.

But like I said, just my perspective, I don't have any hard data points.

At the cost of making an actually useful website for those of us not on mobile. My bank insists on making their website/online banking platform work as if it was their mobile app. The flow of bank transfers, paying bills, writing to your banking adviser is now entirely confusing and feels unsafe. Even a 14" laptop has plenty of space to show you detailed overviews, but no, assume that the user is on a tiny ass screen and show them mostly white-space.

TBH I've come around on it and I kinda prefer the Fischer Price phone UIs over the sites with random smatterings of 7px microfont, .ASPX pages redirecting eighteen times, and functions hidden two levels deep in floating overflow navs (which don't properly track hover state and disappear when you try getting into a deeper level).

But it's really a pick-your-poison situation. All of it sucks on some level haha.
