A few years ago, I made comments on HN about how I found Chinese Bonzi Buddy clones on the Mac App Store, except using different animals like tigers and lions. Same functionality of Bonzi Buddy outside of that.
It's absolutely astounding to me that this problem is still going on to this day, with even scammier apps.
It is worth noting that even the iOS App Store hosts multimillion dollar scams on it[1].
