Why are modern bookmarking apps so needlessly complicated?

Every time i try a new read-it-later tool, i spend an hour sorting tags and folders, only to abandon it a week later.

Always end up going back to plain browser bookmarks or just texting links to myself on messaging apps. Most of these modern apps turn a simple save action into a massive chore.

Is anyone actually using a dedicated bookmarking tool long term or are basic browser setups still superior?
