In practice "use the app" means "use an Apple or Android phone". If "modern society" means "please make these ethically dubious companies in a duopoly that produce devices I don't even like even richer", then I will gladly be "ancient". I have serious problems more or less forcing people to give money to one of these two 100% for-profit companies, especially when it's for public services. It's fundamentally and profoundly anti-free market. For all the hate the web and browsers get here, at least that's an open platform that you can run on more or less $any system of your choice, or even re-implement from scratch (which, while still a large project, is quite as hard as sometimes made out to be).
