It's intereswting that you lied about Apple's lack of capability,
and then when proven wrong, you can only make an ad hominem attack.
Why?
Why do you hate all facts about Apple products, Jolly Roger?
Specifically, why do you hate the truth about Apple so much that you resort
to ad hominem attacks whenever someone merely informs you of facts?
FACT: When you run the search, you check any number of 30 boxes.

The first three of those search filters are the following:
1. No ads (or No ads/removable ads)
2. Free
3. No in-app purchases
The rest are in the sig although the search takes regular expressions so
there are literally almost an infinite amount of detail to search for.
Here is my own screenshot, which you'll recognize as fact.

--
1. No ads (or No ads/removable ads)
2. Free
3. No in-app purchases
4. User rating (where you can set the limit range)
5. Number of ratings (where you can set the limit range)
If you know you're going to purchase an app, you can check if it's on sale
6. On sale
Or if you're willing to accept in-app purchases, you can check that box
7. Has in-app purchases
And if you are using Play Pass, you can check if that is applicable too
8. Play Pass
9. Play Store installable
There are a few more basic but rather useful switches such as
10. Default exclusions
11. Number of downloads (where you can set the limit range)
12. Recent downloads/month (where you can set the limit range)
13. Price range (where you can set the limit range)
l4. In-app price range (where you can set the limit range)
15. Date updated (where you can set the limit range)
16. Date released (where you can set the limit range)
17. Content rating (where you can set the limit range)
18. Download size (where you can set the limit range)
19. Required Android (where you can set the limit range)
20. Target API (where you can set the limit range)
21. Extended filter ranges (where you can set the limit range)
From those filters, you can then select your sort criteria such as
22. Sort by Relevance
23. Average user rating
24. Number of ratings
25. Number of downloads
26. Recent downloads/month
27. Downloads/month increase %
28. Date released
29. Date updated
30. Download size
There are hundreds more (due to the use of regular expressions),
and due to the ability to spoof your API and to spoof your hardware,
and to spoof your gps location for the regionally restricted apps,
but one question to ask the OP is why not use an equivalent search
for the iOS app that the OP is looking to install?
How many of just those basic 30 things does the iOS sort allow you?
