Only in game items not in web store

I'm curious if it's ever been discussed why the daily cards (units, gold, energy, iso) and the supreme growth rewards are not in the web store and only available in the app. Wouldn't Kabam make more money if they were added there. Then I can begin a 10 year long journey to get an emote.

The web store has difficulty translating subscriptions and the daily items to accounts, so it hasn’t been an option.

Isn’t the Sigil available on the Webstore?

Yes, but it's different. It is not something that triggers multiple times like the items mentioned above. It's essentially just a key that goes into your inventory one time.

They can have monthly collector's daily card unit deal which is for a month and goldpool's daily card somethings like that on the webstore. It will encourage more people to buy these deals if it gives them little bit extra market points.

In that sense, yes, they "can". But in a practical sense, selling something that impacts an account repeatedly through a third party is going to be far more difficult than doing it directly in game. It would drive more people to the webstore. But I'd also be willing to bet that it would drive even more people to support because players got stuff on day 1 but not on day 2. It's far more complicated than them choosing not to do it.

Would it be possible to just put a sort of trigger in the webstore, that just tells the game that you have 30 days of, for example the unit daily pass, and the rest is triggered through the game and not the webstore?

I mean, it would certainly be possible, but my guess is the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze and the possibility of problems is too high to justify it. One way to think of it would be like this:
Everything you purchase in the webstore is one way communication. You purchase from the webstore, it communicates that purchase to the game. Currently the only thing that communicates from the game to the webstore is purchase limits, and at the end of the day that's just a counter that probably isn't complicated to figure out. To setup a subscription, it would mean relying on the game to communicate accurately to the third party, and then for that third party to correctly communicate back.
Possible in theory, absolutely. Worth the cost of implementing it and the likely cost of things going wrong, probably not. But maybe we will get there someday.
