This has been the case for the past one or two years already. Every app category is completely filled with scams, crappy clones, and brainless mass-produced 'puzzle games' [1].

Just yesterday I was searching for a 3D modelling app, and roughly 80% of the results were this type of game, while the apps I wanted were far down the list (and came with a $14,99/month subscription).

The store has become a complete shit show, and the curation that used to justify the walled garden is nowhere to be found. We get the worst of both worlds.

[1] if you can even call them 'games'. They are usually a set of static illustrations, a cheap backstory loosely related to the topic, some drag-and-drop puzzles, and little glimpses of child abuse, violence and sex, being promoted for a 12+ age range.
