That’s revisionism. When the iPhone first came out, apps weren’t a thing. Jobs advocated for PWA (he didn’t want apps), but people complained about performance. So Apple added the App Store with iPhone OS 2.0.

Yes and no. iPhone apps weren't a thing until they were, but there were Brew apps[1], Symbian apps[2], Blackberry apps[3], Palm apps[4], etc.
