It is not necessarily a matter of choice. Besides what the other commenter notes about 2FA, in some countries banks have been removing functionality from their online-banking website, and you can only do certain things in the phone app.

- fragmede 6mo agoFwiw, iOS lets you print to network attached printers directly, no macOS needed.
- literalAardvark 6mo agoYou can print from your phone, and also you probably don't even need to print it.
- eks391 6mo agoThis annoys me to no end. I have an old phone that I boot up occasionally because it holds all the apps that I only need once per year for a niche feature that is only accessible in their app. I don't need 200 apps on my main that I would otherwise never open.
