There is more than one thing here:
1)
as-is fc app are build around tokens, pay2win mostly i'd say. Most can't win by design, though.
How many still like this apps? Unknown
as-is base seems to aim for apps about trading tokens. They said this. Maybe more users are interested in that today. And Coinbase is an exchange mostly. So more or less a revert to a wallet with an in-app browser. The wallet is the center.
2)
Regarding app model it's web standards vs. "closed world". A tiny bit like iOS Apps vs. standard web apps. This only works for anyone if there is some userbase. fc is small, though.
3)
I don't know if others see potential for fc and i tried to understand it the last weeks. But don't see it.
Something rather obvious i think: Given what fc founders wrote publicly, is running the fc servers a loss, so not sustainable? I don't know, but will it exist in 1 year if not?
4)
Why not simply using X or bluesky? Both have much more users probably.
