They know that a lot of people would rather have it work a little better by getting an app, if they keep reminding people it's an option.
Even if "better" is just lack of nags.
It's sad. We need a digital privacy law so that an app can't be more invasive than the website.
Well, they just swap nags from "download outr app" to "rate our app" no matter what you do, you'll be nagged...
