While the trend is obvious, these types of super apps are neither desirable nor user centric. They are hot-spots of monopolies, censorship and are front-line enemies for democracies. Especially if they include social / news / events / groups stuff. I wish, there are more apps, bound together with integration mechanisms (loosely coupled, high cohesion) rather than one super app. Unfortunately, the whole world is moving towards super apps. Google / Amazon / FB / Apple are all doing Commerce / Banking / Products / Entertainment / Internet Services / Cloud Computing / News & Information / Social at the same time. (There may be some exceptions, like Apple not doing commerce like Amazon) I guess business moves in circles. There was consolidation in times of Standard Oil (or steel, I don't recall), where controlling everything in every vertical is the game, then business moved towards a more distributed services type structures, then we are witnessing another round of consolidation. Across all sectors, this is more pronounced in US, a handful of companies directly / indirectly control huge aspects of an individuals life. Unfortunate.
