I do not use any of those apps. I do use Gmail and used to use Twitter. There is and was zero reason to use Twitter app. Or youtube app, website is literally better.

And I don't use Gmail app, because it was taking too much space.

Youtube apps can interact with TV Youtube apps, which are otherwise a pain to use. That’s the one reason I have it installed.

May be. For me, it does not have tabs, so I found it super annoying whenever it opened up. I like tabs.

Yeah, I only use it for “casting” videos to tv, not watching on the phone. This is all true for most content-focused apps: they are more usable as a website, which has possibilities of tabs, in-page search, deep bookmarks, … Apps, as a general rule, suck.
