It's a web app, you don't really need a native application for it.

I just use discord via the browser. Why would I allow it to harvest my data as an app?
-
Because the desktop app works without having your phone around, if I remember correctly. It's a relatively recent feature.

Why do you need your phone around for the web version?
-
The web version isn't a standalone client like Signal, which registers as an additional device with e2e. WhatsApp web communicates with the WhatsApp app, so it doesn't work if the phone isn't connected to the internet (in early versions it had to be the same network, if I remember correctly).
I believe WA introduced a feature which allowed the desktop app to function standalone like Signal. Signal Desktop adds a second device with it's own keys, so contacts send automatically messages to two devices. I'm not sure if it works the same for WA, and if they even have the feature. I don't have a compatible desktop.

Oopsie. Seems like I missed discord in your comment. I thought you were talking about WhatsApp.

The Windows-only app is way better. You can make calls for example.
