Most of these memes are ironic, but this one is actually true. These apps could just be websites, but instead they're bloated spyware

Many of these apps could just be menus.

Even menu websites are chock full of Javascript for no reason. It could be a JPEG!

Menus should be PDFs so they are searchable.

Don't get rid of ordering online, I have bad vision and like sitting for 30 minutes deciding what to buy and how much is way too much to spend on the food I'm getting

As a programmer who used to fix accessibility problems with iOS apps, I'd like to say that one good thing about apps vs. websites is that apps are generally much better than websites for people with vision problems. But they aren't! At least the ones I was fixing sure weren't.
