I write to better educate myself as I go through CTFs and Bug Bounties. If anything I have written is incorrect, please let me know and send me a link to an article to read to better educate myself.

It really just depends on what computer I am on as my laptop doesn't have Kali on, but I have a VM of it on my desktop computer.
Also, people rely on Kali a lot and don't always understand the tools they are using and why and I like to talk about the issues that might come up if someone doesn't have the tools or maybe runs into issues, like I have, using them. I've found reading through a few CTF writeups that I struggle to follow because it can be difficult to know exactly what part of BurpSuite they are using or what script they ran with Hydra or why its not working on my system so it's a good practice to struggle and really learn more to me.
Super curious about your write up on Android applications. I've only looked at it once and it was not a fun experience... Need to learn more about it all.
That is really very interesting to me as I want to produce more content about all of this.
Indeed, we assume that everyone has the tools but it can be difficult to make it work.
Kali is very useful because all the relevant/most used tools are already installed. So you don't have to struggle to install them.
Nevertheless, I agree that it is a very good practice to do the CTF using the least amount of tools you can so that you understand the core of it. And then, you can use tools to either automate it or accelerate it.
I hope you'll learn about Android with my writings. I'll try to post some videos about it in the (near) future. 😄
