Apps and application software

Came across a video on the WSJ about apps being made available on computers by apple and google.
Don't know what kind of cave the reporter has been living in but on both the mac os and windows you had the ability to install "apps" since time immemorial. Apps are just a fancy marketing term by apple for application software.

To make it easier to understand - chrome, firefox, microsoft office, visual studio, anti virus software etc etc are all "apps".
