I meant the Apple Store app, where folks can buy Apple products and accessories for them. It is not pre-installed on phones, but it could be (which would be in line with Apple's hardware-first strategy).
I did not mean the App Store. Users rarely use it, according to analysis, and adding non-app assets to it makes little sense here:
"Today’s consumers are spending over 85 percent of their time on their smartphones using native applications, but the majority of their time – 84 percent – is spent using just five non-native apps they’ve installed from the App Store." [1]
"In fact, it said that utilities on iPhone and tools on Android accounted for the heaviest monthly usage, and this was largely due to pre-installed apps like Safari on iOS and Google on Android." [2]
