> A popular sentiment on HN is "don't make an app when you can just have a web page".

I have yet to hear a user data analytics team say that.

To clarify, for the good of the user or for their own purposes?

Not OP, but of course it is for their own purposes.

Yes, for their own purposes

definitely their own purposes; show me a company that makes an app that tracks users less than the web alternative

There are actually quite a few, namely companion apps that are purpose built.

haha
