I turned both my computer and my phone my into a Nook before I was gifted my Kindle. I still keep all of the apps (as stated in my profile box). Do I use them? Not so much, because, I have my Kindle.
Not everyone has a phone that can run the Kindle app or even want to. A lot of people do not like reading eBooks on their computer. A lot of people do not strip DRM. A lot of people do not have a portable device that run the Kindle app.

I have an iPhone. I don't read eBooks with it. I have a computer and a laptop. I don't read eBooks with either. I don't have an iPad or any other tablet. I have a Sony Reader PRS-650. It doesn't handle Kindle eBooks.

Lots of people are in a situation where they have a device they use to read eBook that doesn't handle Kindle eBooks and they do not use their computer to read eBooks.
