I'm pretty sure for Instagram it's by design, not because of their technical stack.

  Instagram web is so bad that it’s the only logical explanation.

    I have worked in the Instagram ios source. It is FUCKING AWFUL. They’re impressive in their business success given their code quality.

      There isn't even a real iPad app (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

        Worth considering that this is an explicit business decision (not enough iPad users to justify the development effort), versus a technical one. There were various builds with proper iPad layout floating around internally, but no one ever got the management buy-in to polish it enough to ship.

      I don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere that had decent code quality

  They want you to use the app because it's harder to adblock in apps than on the web.
