I have a somewhat similar gripe about apps, which has some recent implications: there seems to be some school of thought for engagement, which suggests that something that's not used at least weekly is useless. For this reason Google started automatically removing permissions from apps I didn't use for some time and it's also suggested I could delete them "to save space" which is frankly quite stupid -- I have quite a lot of apps which I only intend to use when needed, but I need them installed and ready. A perfect example are emergency apps -- I do not intend for my car to break down every couple of weeks, but when it does, I need the emergency services app. I don't want to open the desaster warning app consciously, but I want it to warn me when something happens, be it today or in three years. Don't judge the app by its daily usage time please.
