    It is a little strange. But even way back in the day we called PC software meant for user interaction “software applications”.

      Yeah I think people started calling software applications “programs” because that’s easier to say.

      And then Steve Jobs’ made his biggest contribution to civilization and popularized the term app, which is even easier to say.
