Got my first Windows laptop, do people install Netflix and Disney+?

Haven’t used a Windows laptop in ages. I noticed there is now a “Microsoft Store” which I presume is similar to Apple’s App Store. I find it curious there are Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ apps. Is there any advantage to installing these vs simply using their website on Chrome?

A website packaged in Electron is not "native"

Install? Why would you bother with stupid apps instead of just using the web pagem

That’s my point. I’m curious why these even exist at all?
