Whatever happened to Winamp?

I avoid iTunes as much as I can on my mac as well, it's horrible. In terms of performance I think the App Store they ship is even worse, it's a travesty of an application and I couldn't understand how Apple would ship something so unpolished and... non-native feeling. I might be wrong but it feels like it's web wrapped in a native shell and it's performing horribly compared to Electron apps.

EDIT: To be fair most of the slowness could be perhaps be attributed to slow network requests as well.

I never understand how Apple allows its stores to remain so slow (iTunes Music, Mac App Store, iOS App Store). I'm trying to give them money. If it takes 30 seconds to search and navigate to the product I'm vaguely interested in, with a multi-second pause for each request to complete, I'll give up and not spend the money.
