Wth the various stories about what data apps seem able to access despite being totally unrelated to their core function, they appear to be a goldmine for privacy invaders (advertising companies) and scammers, hence why even semi-popular apps are targeted for purchase by unethicals to turn into personal data feeds.
I don't have banking apps on my phone. I don't need to move money immediately in any situation. And I still have more apps on my phone than I'm comfortable with.
It's all a personal choice about risk appetite, but for most people (not really the HN crowd) the risks are downplayed or unknown.
