These apps are poorly written, but this has nothing to do with REST, or HTTP being stateless. Indeed, HTTP being stateless forces apps to implement state management which can naturally survive network interruptions. If the apps you are complaining about used a stateful protocol, they would be even worse!

Maybe you misread me.

I said the the protocol can be stateless but the app itself, towards the user, should carry state – where this makes sense. E.g. in the cases I described.
