I think you are pretty much right on all counts, probably except for the very definition of super-apps. I think the original article used the term for an app that can serve for multiple purposes, not necessarily open to 3rd parties. If we follow this definition Kakaotalk or LINE are definitely super apps, but WeChat can be considered as the second generation super app. (Third party apps in Kakaotalk or LINE are still pretty limited in this aspect to my knowledge. Kakaotalk in particular seems to have assimiliated any third-party interaction into its chatting platform.)
