[OP of the site]

I tried to limit the list to apps where you couldn't get to _any_ functionality without logging in. AirBnB lets you browse around etc. Airlines let you look at dates / availability.

I included Wells Fargo, however, because I thought it was wild that they're able to provide straight web links to Safari to sign up for banking services, whereas Hey has to pretend like accounts are bestowed via divine intervention.

If you don't know the difference between a bank and Hey, then there's probably nothing anyone can do to convince you that your position isn't tenable.

There is a difference, of course there is!

Why, then, did Apple decide to gerrymander its rules to extract rent from one industry and not the other?

Perhaps there's an ethical or philosophical argument why Apple feels entitled to one industry's revenue and not the other, but I haven't heard that argument.
