That would inconvenience Saudi men, would it not?

No, it would inconvenience Saudi women, because the men wouldn't bother doing the extra work.

Would the Saudis really have created this app if it didn't convenience Saudi men? I doubt that. I don't think the Saudi government is in the business of conveniencing Saudi women, except insofar as that's an incidental byproduct of conveniencing Saudi men.
