For me it’s the privacy angle that matters.
All these restaurant apps being pushed like “it’s cheaper on the app!” and “you can get a free side on the app!”
And I’m almost tempted to install it, but then I remember by doing so I’m giving the company a wealth of data to slurp on me, letting them bombard me with notifications, and giving their logo a shining advertisement spot in my app drawer so every time I’m hungry I see it, and want it.
When I think about the higher non-app price in those terms, as a “privacy tax” to keep my data and my dignity, then I’m happy to pay it.
Ah. I suppose it’s just down to how my client chooses to handle it, then :)

Reading your comment I got worried about disk writes, so I’m glad this info is on the website:
Sensible design decision, because writing video to your SSD 24/7 wouldn’t do anything good for the lifespan of the drive.
