As someone entering this space, this is an interesting topic, and there are some good ideas and discussions to be had in this thread.<p>One thing I&#x27;ve noticed, is that some lists are better served via different mediums than others; this might be the difference of putting something into apple Notes versus apple Todos. Sometimes you just need a list for reference, and other times you need each to represent something actionable.<p>Other times, the lists are directly associated with a service provider: amazon wishlists or netflix watchlist (note both have &#x27;list&#x27; in their name) and are both geared towards furthering your investment in their platform. They aren&#x27;t a core aspect of their business plan, but they are helpful to users.<p>Lists have also been around for quite a while! a chapter could be said to be a list of pages (if you consider a list a collection and a collection a list); and the index is certainly a list of chapters.
