Arguably, F-Droid is a (Android-only, not possible to make such an app on iOS) super app that very much exists in the western world.

To be fair to Apple, both Google and Meta have loads of apps for iOS that compare to the Apple suite of apps. Although there is definitely a pre-installed advantage for the Apple apps.

I’d call that an app marketplace, not a super app.


Then wouldn’t the same argument apply to the Apple App Store?


I think it does. Calling iOS a "super app" seems weird and doesn't explain a lot, in my view.
