I feel like ranking more popular apps higher in search results hurts app discovery, which I can't imagine is their goal.

And it also favors incumbents over higher quality or more relevant results.

To be fair, it also favors higher quality incumbents over the dozens of knockoff me-too apps like Grumpy Avians, Monsters Eat My Apartments, and Temple Race+. Or worse yet, the "strategy guide" apps for games that cost more than the original game.
