While this is sometimes true, I think it's more often the case the businesses make junk apps because they pay the lowest bidder to make them a bare minimum app.

And the lowest bidder is often an app factory.

See real estate apps or corporate travel apps for instance. A majority seem to be the same few practically unusable apps re-skinned.

I believe as part of the App Clip announcement they were showing Yelp creating/managing apps for restaurants. So they're specifically trying to improve this type of app.
