You're right - but my argument is equally applicable to Mastodon apps as to instances or Google's app store - you can always choose a different app!

If they start using their own proprietary protocol extensions, or closed their instance to other clients, I'd not be as dismissive.

Not if the app stores have a rule that every such client has to ban the servers that the app store doesn't like.
