Spotify for music. I like the UI and the fact I can use it on all my devices.

Steam for games. I like that I can have progress synced across my Steam Deck, laptop and desktop.

Waze for maps and navigation. I like being able to report things on the road and update fuel prices etc

We really need something like that. We already have OSM which can do this for more static things but I’m not aware of anything which can do that for “live” data.

There may be some hope of better FOSS map and Navigation Apps due to Overture Maps.
