In my experience it's more like 1) apt-get install programiwant 2) Not found, did you mean libprogramiwant-dev.0.5.1ubuntu01? 3) apt-get install libprogramiwant-dev.0.5.1ubuntu01 2) this action will require 0.00001 kb of your 1000TB hard drive, do you want to continue?

There's even a "stability level" you have to choose ranging from 1 to 5, good luck with that grandma. Not saying it can't be done, the app stores are a great example of how it can work but there you are stuck inside the walled garden. And even there you still have problem #2 above of finding things, there's just so much crap in the app-store so even if you search for an exact match you will find imposterors trying to ride on the name, minecraft is a great example, search for it on Play store and you will have to scroll through pages and pages of minecraft-guides, blockcrafts, craftmines, minercrafter and whatnot before you even see the real minecraft.
