I echo you! Why can't we do everything on a web? Why must we need an app for specific functions and abilities? Do these organizations want to have an app that is the next big thing because I don't think that will happen anymore. Plus, with Google and Apple dominating the market and requiring more stringent rules for businesses, the route should be web facing, not app facing.
Also, while notifications are great, I'm already getting bombarded by a bunch of them for all the other apps so all these notifications gets lost on my phone XD
Google and Apple are becoming the next Amazon and I think some people will just start to become fed up with it and hopefully look at the future of web mobile instead of app mobile.
