If you still prefer a standalone app however Android now offers Google Play Store, which works similarly to Android Market. It’s only available as part of the Google Business Suite however.
I unironically miss when it was still Android Market. It was a clear name. What is a Play Store, really?
Edit: I searched it up and the reason is acceptable, you don’t need an Android device to purchase and utilize some of the content. I still think Play Store is a bad name tho
The worst part is that it would be pretty on-brand for Google to do something like that.
Google: We are closing the Google Play Store and rebranding it as Android Market, we believe this better represents what our customer base requires.
Android Market is being discontinued as a standalone app, it will now be rolled into YouTube and you must enable Gemini to use it.

I mean if a lot of people rely on it for apps I imagine a lot of people would get upset lol
