Digital purchases are not you buying the product. It's you buying limited and reversible access to the license to download the file. When you agree to the TOS, you agree to this arrangement.
If you want to actually own something, you should be buying a physical copy of it.
Let me know where I can buy my android apps on disk I guess?
Hey the thought of a USB-C flash drive as physical media you can buy for an app sounds cool as actually
You can download APKs from repositories on the web
