>>40mobile sites are different, and besides, most mobile sites just tell you to install the app anyway
in fact, reddit uses speed as a way to try and convince users that they need to install the app
they say the app is faster than the website, which convinces people to use the app
if the mobile web version was just as fast, they couldn't put a spin on it like that
mobile apps can do data mining and get phone permissions that are harder to achieve via web, and it's easier to block ads in a browser than in an app, so it's in the best interests of tech companies to make mobile web users feel inferior to app users
