To #3, to users the benefit is absolutely nothing. There are still so many garbage apps.

To Apple, the benefit is enormous. What happens when garbage apps get better ranking? Companies pay for that sponsored position. Once they do, Apple then starts ranking them better and gets to claim they "monitor quality" when it was never about quality on the App Store.

My favorite is "Microsoft Authenticator" not being the first result when searching for it by name. I don't have an iPhone but I have to tell all my users to make sure the icon matches the registration page for O365's MFA registration.

15 years after introducing Apple Store it is still shit at finding apps, even though I am willing to pay. The search function is just a disaster. You need to use Google and the web to find anything.
