The state of URL readability on mobile platforms is terrible, people fall for phishing all the time it’s easy to blame the users but it’s a solution to the problem. Phishing via email, texts and ads in apps heck even Google at times had phishing URLs come up in search results, CDNs being compromised and transport attacks (e.g. hotspots) make distribution over browsers a problem. AppStores allow you at least in theory to validate an app not only to be the app that you want to download but also that the app does what the developer claims it does, it also facilitates distribution segmentation by region and device (especially important for Android) and automatic updates. Not sure about you but I’ll trust the Apple AppStore more than any given bank website simply by being familiar with the security teams and practices in FAANG vs commercial banking.
