They already have. I can barely go to a mobile page that isn't broken or doesn't have a pop up I must dismiss telling me it's better in the app when it most certainly is not. Some things I use have let their desktop web pages go into disrepair and when I contact them with my issues logging in they just tell me to use the app and that their site has been down for months. Gotta force that tracking and those arbitration clauses somehow.
Tell them that you don't own a smartphone and that you can't use their product.
Might not solve the issue in the short run, but eventually they'll hopefully realize that a desktop site is important as well.
Usually I tell them I have a right to privacy and I won't be using their product and that they need to delete my account and my data.
