I realized that after looking at the result for ~5 seconds, but I still think its a dark pattern and it could easily induce someone into installing that app by habitually clicking the 'get' button. I guess it just shocked me that the one of the first things I saw on an iPhone was an Ad.

But yes, looking at ads on the Google Play Store recently tells me I made the right decision to switch to an iPhone.

I've been looking to switch from Google Pixel to iPhone but I still see the same shit on the "other side". On iPhone you still get an advertising ID in your OS to track you that you can't disable. You still get ads in system apps. It's like a veneer on top of the same crap.
