They want a presence on your phone, collecting any data the phone OS allows. They want to send you notifications. They want to prevent you from exerting any control over the experience - you can't block ads for an app as easily as you can for a webpage... and if you help anyone else mess with an app, you are literally committing a felony.
I LOATHE apps that you want notifications from, like a security camera, that they use to PUSH YOU ADS. I hope they all lose one body part every month until death.
Is the reason why I have a Gmail. It's the same one I've had for a long time, last time I checked it, the unread emails count was past 9999. I wonder what Google thinks of me 🤔

You can exclude apps from autoupdate on Aurora store.

Some stop opening if you continue to delay unfortunately. Usually banking apps, but sometimes bullshit apps too.
