    Exactly for the sharing features people have been discussing. It may be OK for the design team to download the app, but product managers, devs, marketers and other stakeholders don't want to also have to go through the trouble of downloading the app. A primary thing Figma understood better than pretty much anyone else is how collaboration among different teams (not just design) works in product development.
