    Also, this isn't a knock on applications/sites that do have everything on the front page. I'm not a designer but having everything there (even if it results in 'crowding') could be good for users with less time/attention to learn exactly where certain functions are kept. If their pages/apps load slowly, it could save page reloads, data usage and improve bounce rate. Downsides are that the text is small and more prone to misclicks (big finger small screen), but that's a tradeoff. So I'm not upholding sparse page design as the gold standard in all cases, I think I just disagree with the presenter's explanation of why the apps are the way they are.
