I do too! I just generally don't want to keep track of and manage permission and data access for a number of different apps that might change when the ownership changes. I see apps as a way for the owner to take control of more of your mobile environment than is actually warranted, whereas connecting to all services through my browser lets me stay in control of what information they have access to -- to some extent.
I started to think more about it, and I think the main reason is being able to use an ad blocker in Safari, and not within apps. Sure, I could use a DNS profile, but I don't feel like installing one (I don't like installing stuff, I'm seeing a pattern...)
