I NEVER understood them forcing the stupid app on us

Also easier to get tracking info through installed apps. Ultimately, yes, money.

That would surprise me. Most platforms throw permission dialogs whenever an app gets too nosy. If it was a free app, I could see it being forced because it would be harder to block ads.

When a company pushes you towards their official app, it's almost exclusively so that they can mine more of your data without your explicit consent
