More interestingly, users care about 20% of each of the other applications they are trying to use. Not only is it frustrating for them to be bombarded with the 80% of your app they don't care about, it's frustrating when they can't easily replace that 80% with the other apps they prefer. The entire premise of an "application" is, in my opinion, a huge mistake. Each application, by virtue of being just that, is designed to be a silo of functionality and usability. An application monopolizes the functionality for the use case it was designed to apply to. Not only does an application hold its functionality hostage, it insulates itself from the functionality of other applications. This creates a brittle system with incredible overhead. There's a reason many of us prefer to use a terminal emulator and shell utilities: they are designed with the opposite goal, to collaborate with each other as much as possible. That's often worth dealing with the ~40 years of cruft that the shell comes with, but accessibility could definitely be improved.
