The "people will just make their own apps on the fly" meme reminds me of when Intel et. al. kept pumping articles about how people don't want one device that does everything, they want separate devices for each task email, web browsing, printing, etc.

also, people want shit that works
> they want separate devices for each task email, web browsing, printing, etc
That’s still true.
Not devices. Software.
Related use cases are being merged, while any use cases that do exist but are rarely used become simplified so people do not have to learn how it works in detail and/or directly integrated into other applications/OS (example is printing)
In Nostr, microapps won’t scale, as the cost to be familiar with n applications scales as n^2
Eventually, microapps converge into integrations and large clients.
They’re right that we want separate devices though. Should be like toasters
