No subs and no ads would be great.

I think that would be better covered by a "one time purchase" option. Otherwise, you're asking for either a "starve the dev" category, or something shadier like "show all apps that monetize my location".

No reason not to give the end use the flags for searching. You either get results or you don't. If someone wants to make a simple calculator and not charge for it, they should be allowed to do so and ideally apple will give the tools to the user to find such an app.
Also, devs still do put ads in some purchasable apps So just having a "one time purchase" toggle doesnt solve the problem.

There are models that work with barely any ads and subs. Google Maps is a great example.

Google Maps is full of ads. They’re just not the kind you’re used to. The POI it decides to show is partially a money game.
