"webhostaging" is a much catchier name than the other suggestions in sibling comments, I think, and more memorable because it sounds weird (a bit like "webhosting"?).
It's so clever I think I'll start using it, and also telling people I came up with it by myself.

It does sound too Much like web hosting and in that sense it’s a fail. Steal it all you want, I win if companies start feeling shame anyway.
Appforcing?
The industry term is "web-to-app conversion" by the way.

I like this suggestion, I think it needs to be more catchy and roll off the tongue a bit easier. Here are some other suggestions:
Appholing Appstunting Nativebaiting
Webcrapp
Has both web and app in it, and it says what it does. Could also be webcrapping as verb.

I think a verb-oriented word is more powerful at shaming than a noun-oriented word. I think Crap is a little too vulgar to appeal to most people, some might feel uncomfortable at work saying crap for Instance. But try it out!
App + Oppression = Appression
Maybe webhijacking? Maybe I should purchase a domain and document it... Who knows, maybe it catches on and people start linking to it.

Yes there needs to be a single use site for this. Everyone is familiar with this , it just needs a catchy name so people on Twitter spread this and easily shame websites en masse for doing it. Webhijacking is too similar to webjacking IMO https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/web-jacking/
There should also be a name for ostensibly public social media sites that webhostage you into signing up. Instagram comes to mind.
It’s a reprehensible dark pattern.
