Quick thought. I wonder to what extent this is a phenomenon of the social media era. I feel like it used to make sense for apps to know who their customer was. But now we live in a world where the measure of success is just how many users you have as an undifferentiated number. Regardless of who those users are or whether they are actually being successful with your platform. So every app converges to "this app is designed for whoever wants to pay us money".
