As someone who works for an asian "superapp", the grass is always greener.

Superapps are self-limiting, because the app-size is too large for many user's phones (Uber has famously had this problem too, and thus split up their apps [0]).

The UX also tends to be a bit weird. Everyone wants to use the superapp differently and so the interface ends up being the lowest common denominator across all product families.

Maybe, but none of that matters at the moment. These are after-the-fact problems.
