Let's not forget the international headaches.
This is an issue in both iOS and Mac app stores. Certain apps are (arguably rightly) only available in certain regions (like banking apps) but Apple's poor design means you now have to switch stores to upgrade.
So Capital One tells me I have to upgrade my app I need to log out my Apple account, switch the region to USA, type in my address, phone numbers, and a USA credit card (this is for apple), then start the store back up. Sometimes it takes a while for it to switch. I can then download the new version of the Capital One app. Then my MUFG Bank app needs an update so I have to repeat the process to switch back the Japan store.
Even funnier, the app store will tell me I need to upgrade but then won't upgrade (Because I'm not on the right store) so it's clearly the same store since the upgrade notices flow through the same store app, it's just bad design.
Why Apple can't figure this out is beyond me. They're an international company. They must have 1000s of employees that have to deal with this issue. Sure I get it does not affect the majority of users. The same can be said for accessibility features yet they still make them.

And even some chat software like telegram already has this build in. Do google patient this or for whatever reason that apple can't implement it?
