> Spotify is a big ask because google would have to port widevine (the web DRM.)

Spotify shouldn't be a problem [0][1] using librespot [2]. As for banking, I can't speak for all of Europe, but web apps are generally optimized for desktop use, apps have some convinient features, like scanning the QR code of a bill and pay it with one tap, instead of having to type in everything manually when it's on paper, or copy paste it from a PDF.

Additionally some banks require an app for 2FA for the web interface on PC too.
