There are still like calculator apps and web browsers and such, “everything” is more like instead of Paypal/Venmo, you use WeChat. Instead of ApplePay, WeChat. Instead of Facebook, WeChat. Instead of Uber, WeChat. It’s just all that functionality smashed into one app.

I don’t think it’s designed by the state to be centralized, it’s just how things happened in a lot of Asia.
