I too assume the Patreon App doesn't do anything that cannot be done on their web page. I can imagine there are good dev reasons but also bad incentives to make it an app.

I am biased against Apple as I like being the one in control of my hardware/software.. but is it a stretch to say Apple influence their users to use apps instead of web pages (so they can rent-seek a cut)?

Your opinion of Apple is generally valid, but as an Apple user for the last few years, I've never actually seen Apple push me to install an app. It's always the website itself saying "it's even better in the app!" or something.
