it’s because we experienced the time before dedicated mobile apps and when mobile sites were mostly just a novelty and there was a 90% chance submitting a form on one would cause it to poo poo the bed

DOLF IS RECHTVAARDIG

this was me at the baltic air checkin desk on wednesday

"you havent checked in online"
"yes, im at the checkin desk so i can check in with you"
"its 35 euros if i do it for you"

so i pulled out my phone, did it there and saved 35 euros by me clicking a link and then yes, rather than the desk agent scanning my id and checking me in.
she still needed to scan my id though, to confirm that id signed in
