These applications likely know they can get away with it, as people classify them as "too important" to uninstall.

The solution is to make them wrong: To uninstall. Who woulda thunk.

Yeah, so get this. One of those apps is a shipping company that’s close to being a monopoly. You could pick up their parcels with just a phone number but now you need account for safety. So I can’t uninstall it. I need notifications on because I’m a klutz and need reminders. And so I’m also invited to collecting some dumb coins or NFTs they sell. Discord made way into people’s lives too, they’re now dependent and screwed.
