Web apps ruined UX though, at least with apps (historically anyway) you would get some consistent UI. There were design guidelines developers could follow. Same for programs on PCs.
Then PWAs came along and ruined UI/UX. Do UX designers even exist anymore?
Sigh. But trading good UI for tracking and data collection, is indeed, not worth it.

I’m pretty sure the degradation of websites has been intentional to drive app usage.
The apps are not much better these days. I think it’s just cost cutting, avoiding hiring dedicated UX designers.
