Why would you want a banking app? If your bank won't work over browser and insists on installing some crap on your device, shop for another bank.

In Finland, for example, you have to authenticate online through your banking application for any online government service or things like mobile plan. This 2FA is basically mandatory and the alternative is using keys printed on a paper that you have to pay for cause every key is one time use only and I am not sure they will continue that service for long.

It’s probably similar in Sweden and other neighbouring countries

I would not be able to log into _any_ local banking website without the government 2fa app. Not sure what the alternative is. Maybe they can give you an old school hardware device.

Or read the digital letters from government / municipalities.

Also I like my banking app.

		> Not sure what the alternative is. In your country? I'm not sure either. In general? Slovenian government allows authentication via - TLS client certificates, - three different third party identity providers, - ID card via a card reader - .. or via NFC through a smartphone, and - SMS OTP. People who don't or don't want to use a smartphone shouldn't be barred from online government services or forced into a costly and slow authentication scheme when there's numerous better options.

^This. For me, it's not my phone that's defective, it's the app. My phone runs my other ~10 apps that provide for my digital life perfectly fine, with the level of security I'm comfortable with (root access, firewall to block anything in/out that I don't specifically allow). If this is a problem for your app, your app is broken. I'll use something else.
