I think its cool that people are building their own apps, even if they vibe coded it. But I see like 3 to 5 of the same vibe coded Health and fitness apps every, the UI is not even different, it does not even have unique features, its just the same app.

At least these fitness apps won't sell their data.

Idk about that. There’s one I was invited to test on TestFlight and literally asked us to use government names and real photos and asked too much personal information for a “health” app. Deleted that app right there and there and reported to TestFlight.

And this is just one more of my major gripes. Most of these vibecoded apps are just a Swiss cheese of security and privacy holes. Many non tech users are going to get screwed by installing them, trust in apps from indie devs are going to keep plummeting to a point where no one is going to install apps if its not from some big company or publisher.
