It's a cost thing. It's cheaper for them to employ a low-paid worker to
write an 'app' for a phone than the put buttons and a display on the

They also get their app on your phone so they can steal all your
contacts, photos, (you want to print photos from your phone, right?) and
location information and then sell on to the information aggregators.
You want a cheap printer? This is the route to go.
Or pay a bit more for one with a display, buttons and an Ethernet (or
USB) socket.

I suppose once you have wifi working you can delete the app. Or won't
that work any more then?
