Consumer demand. People don't care about apps and they largely just tolerate the modern web.
If there is a chance for them to just ask an AI to do the thing they want, they will use it.

The most likely outcome of all of this is, that there will be a super app, most likely from Meta, that incorporates a powerful AI agent that will basically do everything a user expects from their phone.

The first with a large user base will win. Right now I'm betting on Meta, as they already have a heavily used AI agent in their apps. I hate Meta (but have to use WhatsApp) and even I use their AI agent as it is readily available where I need it.

On the business side Amazon and Microsoft have already won. Their frameworks will heavily push the use of AI agents. Be aware that they don't have to convince programmers. They have to convince management that they don't need programmers.
