It's also worth remembering that most of the mobile apps are just a html/web interface which uses a click-agreement wrap-around, so they can't be legally reverse-engineered, so security through obscurity.
The bonus for the service providers is that they can require the mandated use of arbitration rather than the courts through any changes in the ToS agreements.
Don't agree, and you don't get to use the service.

This is a big point that @pluralistic is often on about, that these “apps” are merely HTML wrappers that allow them to evade standard security, ToS, etc. I am glad you called Bs on this!
