We need to denormalize installing crappy and huge native apps that also invade peoples privacy in order to perform simple day to day transactions.

This EV station could have asked me to scan a QR code and pay for parking/charging via a 100kb web app. I’d be checked in under a minute and wouldn’t need to worry about uninstalling anything once I leave. Instead I had to download a clunky 24MB app.

Stop requiring native app installs and use the Web instead. Web apps are cheaper and faster to build and provide better user experience for these transactional use-cases. There is absolutely no justification for native apps here except for poor technical judgement or incompetence.
