You don’t use Gmail, Google Docs and Maps, Outlook, Youtube? My wife uses a transcribing web app called Otter. All the fantasy map authoring tools I’ve used recently (for TTRPG use) are web apps, like Inkarnate. Arguably even Facebook, Reddit and LinkedIn are really more web apps than web sites. On mobile most people would use an app for all of these services, on desktop they’re mostly tabs in a browser.

  Not GP but I don't find their claim implausible. > Gmail, Google Docs Outlook and the Office suite are common desktop apps, especially in certain industries. > [Google] Maps Most people probably use Maps on mobile. Most of my use of Maps outside mobile is definitely just in Google search results. > Outlook I use OWA but long-time Outlook users often still prefer the (extremely legacy) desktop app. > YouTube, Facebook, Reddit Some people primarily consume media on mobile devices. Especially if they have a dedicated work or gaming desktop.

  I do not use Gmail. I have my own domain like since forever and use Thunderbird to read my email. I do not use Google Docs, I use Office Suite from SoftOffice instead. I do use Youtube, Google Maps, Google Translate, Netflix and Amazon store. I do not think they make anywhere close to even 10% of what I use. I do not use Facebook, Reddit and LinkedIn. Well I do have accounts and I used those couple of times to find particular person but that's the extent. On mobile, the only apps I use are offline GPS - OsmAnd and some that control my gizmos like drone. Other than that my phone works strictly as a phone and does not even have data plan.
