I wasn't saying it shouldn't be an option. I do believe in third party app stores, which is why I have an Android and I download many of my apps fron f-droid.
It just feels like every other website I browse to on the phone has at least an annoying popup asking me to download their app... And at the worst it won't let me browse at all, unless I switch to desktop mode and get full functionality, but UI doesn't scale well.
What I am saying is, I don't need an app for facebook, reddit, lemmy, youtube, spotify, uber, carrefour and the list can go on and on... If it doesn't work offline, I don't want an app for it. And yes, I know you can download music and videos for offline use, but I don't, so just let me use the webapp... I undertand the benefits of an app, I just don't feel like keeping an app for that once a week I open reddit to look up some niche sub.
