I absolutely hate this state of affairs. Apps don't allow me to open multiple tabs, as an example.

But they do allow showing unblockable ads and notifications, so some 'people' absolutely love that state of affairs because they benefit from it.

I don’t know what the state is on Android, but on iOS (and macOS) unblockable notifications aren’t really a thing (notifications need permissions that you manage on a per-app basis) and many app ads can also be blocked (1Blocker does it), though it’s not as powerful because it’s essentially domain blocking.

I’m not disagreeing with you, merely providing more context. Companies like Reddit and Facebook definitely push you more to the apps so they can extract more value out of you.

Some do, MacOS has builtin support to add tabs to any application: https://support.apple.com/my-mm/guide/mac-help/mchla4695cce/...
