    Counter-counterpoint:

    Banks use their app to generate the otp and they reinvented the wheel so if you want to login you need to install it, can’t use a generic authenticator. I am not aware of any single bank in the EU that allows the use of generic authenticators.

    For McDonald’s, using the app gives at least 50% off. A menu in the app costs 5 euro while on the store kiosk costs 12 euro. I do not personally care because I find their food to be just barely edible, but I understand why there’s a need to install the app

      Some people have no smartphone at all. How can they be customers at your bank?

          Damn… The two extremes of the cyberpunk dystopia: no tech at all vs tech slavery.

        Pay a fee of 0.30€ to receive the otp via SMS every time they want to login without the proprietary otp app and 0.30€ for each payment to authorize
