Here me out here- I equate apps with ads as predatory. The gut feeling from many apps/games is that the goal is to annoy you into paying. Many “free” games let you have one ‘turn’ and then force a 30-60 second ad on you that usually redirects you to the App Store to download some other affiliate app. Maybe I am the old man screaming get off my lawn, but when pc shareware was the rage you usually attempted to delight the user into parting with their money. Then I remember a shift in the late 90s where ad/malware started showing up in shareware. That effectively killed the shareware market for me. Rubberduck h30 was the app I remember as the culprit.
