Would it be better to not have the app at all? Time to market and dev costs are key considerations for startups. Many don't have the option or funding to do things perfectly.

90% of the cases... yes, it would be better.

Last I checked no one is making you use something you don't want to.

If you think you're better off without a product, don't use it and let the market work itself out.

Frankly, I mostly even agree with you. I rarely install more than 5 or so apps on my phone these days, and I visit a pretty paltry number of sites consistently, but that doesn't mean someone, somewhere, isn't getting value from those products.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

I just checked, my boss is making me use slack, and nobody is writing a non-electron competitor to slack...
