I kind of get this, but quite a lot of the websites/webapps I use are better off on the web.

Imagine that from tomorrow, hackernews is an app. You can't do stuff like open 10 different tabs of it, put it in a tab group, expect it to restore where you left off after shutting down your device. It's interaction with other pages is also wrong. It would have to either open a webview or a separate browser app, both of which make navigations more complex. Extensions no longer work, you can't change stylesheets or use user scripts and so on.

This is why I don't like Reddit pushing an app and breaking/limiting the mobile website. It's just not how I want to use it at all.

As with many reddit problems, old.reddit.com is a pretty universal fix.

I do use old reddit on my PC, but unless I'm programming or gaming, most of my browsing is done on mobile.

There are extensions to make old reddit mobile friendly, but by default it is a terrible experience. Another example for "you can't use extensions on apps".

I personally find old reddit on mobile more usable than both new and the app version.
