I don't think you know what democracy means, democracy means that users can reject poorly made apps. If you can't reject or destroy something, it's not a democratic process.

Having someone dump shitty wares onto the public is only democracy if you think being held unaccountable as democratic.

One of the meanings of the word "democratization" is "the action of making something accessible to everyone", which is clearly the sense meant here.

It has a more broad meaning of sharing like when a factory is dumping waste in a river, they are democratizing pollution. (i.e they get the benefits but everybody pays the cost.)
