Valid question. I think it's just a usability thing. Easier to hit an icon on my phone to open an app rather than launch the browser, find bookmark, etc. It may seem trivial, but it makes a difference when you're in a hurry.

Don't know how you do it in Android, but in iOS you can tap share and then add to home screen to, well, add a website to your home screen.

Android also supports this.

In Chrome, Firefox and close relatives thereof, it's Menu -> Add to Home Screen.

Yeah, I just need to do that. Thanks for the reminder.

I feel the same, even though I don't use the YouTube app and instead always use the mobile site in a browser (with extensions, obviously).

Would it help having a shortcut to the mobile site directly on your phones app screen? Chrome and Firefox both allow that.
