Yeah, I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion for this...
I'm sick and tired of reading this same uneducated argument. Your desktop browser and an app on your phone are entirely different paradigms security/development wise.
Your desktop browser is expected to be insecure. Nobody stores data there besides cookies. Most processing happens somewhere else on a server.
Apple and Google have changed this stance entirely because they knew apps could be a lot more powerful if they did. The API's that exist to build apps on your phone are designed around the concept of having a secure, sandboxed environment per app. Apps can run offline and manipulate data quickly because data can be synced down and stored locally. I know it sucks for rooted users, but I don't blame developers for refusing to support those devices one bit.
We all get that the design paradigm is "a secure, sandboxed environment per app". We just know its a retarded design.
