The answer: tech bros dictating that they need more “engagement” e.g. they need to collect more data so they can either sell said data or get acquired. I guarantee you very few mobile developers want to send you a notification of any sort, much less “why haven’t you used the app.”
I wish I could murder engagement driven design with a hammer.
To quote the other comment in this thread: "just use Fdroid". No engagement driven design there.
