Maybe it offers something better than on whatever web browser Apple mandates, or maybe no reason but user preference.

    There’s no way that the Patreon app isn’t more than a dolled up web view. If people make stupid decisions I guess the fallout is on them.

    Sadly the fallout is usually on everyone - eventually companies will copy a shady practice as it's been shown they can get away with it.. until no other option for the users exists. It falls on the technologically literate to call out when others are being mistreated or they can suffer too.

    PWAs aren't great on iPhone... They intentionally limit some functionality to push people towards the App Store.

    Some people want everything as apps for some reason.
