If an "app" has a web version I'm definitely on that. My exception would be installing it if thats not available via a webpage or so. Plus having a full control over my device (magisk/kernelsu + modules) and app manager on fdroid, warden to disable such trackers with the help of adaway.
One thing pissed me off was my banking institution, disabled its normal functionality (now only acts like a cpanel for your account) over webpage and the full functionality was transfered to the app (which contains 20 trackers) why tf you need that for in a financial app? Im done with them.
Nothing worse than websites that fool you into thinking they have a mobile friendly website but turns out it's super restrictive and they force you to down the app to actually do anything.
Synology is guilty of that as well. You can login to your server via mobile browser but then do literally nothing, it's pretty much only links to separate apps for each functionality (file backup, photos, video streaming, music streaming, torrent server...)
what's worse, they don't work with "safety" net disabled.
I'm happy to use their functional ASP.NET website rather than being tracked by dozens of trackers on their 200mb app.
