The centralization of power in a super app leads to:
- consolidation of data, which are vulnerable to hackers
- consolidation of power, which leads to abuse
- monopoly position, which leads to enshittification
- easy target for government surveillance (it is not your data, it is our data)
- limits innovation
- limits competitiveness
- limits ability of users to express freely. For example: if you are not nice you will be banned not only from social media, but from banking, etc.
- arbitrary decisions of tech billionaires will have huge impact on the user base
The monopolistic nature of a super app can ultimately undermine the principles of user empowerment, variety, and security that are essential for a healthy and user-friendly digital ecosystem.
