Why are Heart / Favorite, lists, Tracking, rating, different or missing on app vs web?

On IMDb phone app, when you view an Actor page, there’s a Heart button to add to pre-generated Favorite People list (requires having an acct). And on a project page, there’s a Plus to add to Watchlist. On IMDb web, I don’t see the actor Heart or Favorite People list (...you can create your own list); but it does have the Plus for project Watchlist. On IMDbPro web, for either Actor or project, you can “Track,” and you can create own list. … Why isn’t the Heart/FavoritePeople list on the web? I’m guessing the built-in Heart & Plus improve a page’s rating. Not sure it necessarily has the same boost when only added to a user-created list? And on Pro, is Tracking utilized (toward rating?), since it’s separate from create-own-list? If it's supposed to be same as Favorite, why give it a different name?

And once it is complete, it will then be possible for the IMDb engineers to easily implement the approved genre option additions, aye?

A-ha - that makes more sense, thanks. And can you elaborate on to what degree FavePeople / Watchlist / user-created list / Tracking affect rating? Some more than others?
