I use the mobile versions instead of apps, largely because it’s easier to block ads and better for one’s privacy.

I’m happy to use mobile apps in the fediverse. Begrudgingly I’ll use mobile banking apps as needed.

I go back and forth between the YouTube app and mobile website. Mobile web is nice because SponsorBlock and Dearrow both work on it.

That’s why I switched on YouTube on the phone to Tubular, but it’s feature that it doesn’t connect to your YouTube account for history and so makes it less usable. But it has another good feature playing audio in the background.

I mostly use websites in order to use ad blockers and many apps use far more storage than necessary. I mostly use apps when they have functionality that I want that the website is missing or when the app just offers a significantly better experience than the website.
