It's obnoxious how every website wants you to install their app or whatever. Like, the whole point of the web is that you can access any information and software without installing it on your computer. The modern browser is a sandbox and a virtual machine, a portal that grants you access to any site without granting them access to you (in theory). But everyone wants access to your machine. They want to stay resident, to monitor and monetize you, even if it's a security vulnerability and a drain on your personal resources. The web's greatest feature is an obstacle to them, and they're getting very good at bypassing it.
