> Not sure if this means anything other than "phone apps run best on, well, a phone", especially since I can't think of anything from my phone that I would truly like on my desktop, other than instant messages, which are already available in various ways?

Sometimes I go to this coworking space. They have an iOS/Android app you need to use to book a desk, message the admins, unlock the front door, pay, etc. No web app. Forces me to get my phone out when I’d rather just stay on my laptop. If I could run their app on my laptop (haven’t looked into it yet), I’d like that




It forces you to consent to whatever arbitrary EULA that the people running the coworking space probably haven't read.


You can do that in a webapp too. At first login, you have to click "Agree" to lengthy terms and conditions displayed. Until you click "Agree", your login session is only good for the terms screen, not the rest of the webapp.
