This is the most sensible bit of the article. In many smaller cases it's not really clear why the app needs to exist at all, and in some (Reddit, Instagram etc) the app is pushed so hard that it deliberately degrades the web experience.

Isn't it because app installs bypass browser privacy sandboxing? That and some marketing guy thinking that app users are "sticky" and browser visitors aren't.
