I would never dismiss such a complaint with a glib "works for me". And yet, your experience is so utterly, completely different from mine that I have to think something's busted in your account somewhere. I've had an account for about as long, with family sharing and all the rest. I never, ever, have anywhere near that level of difficulty. For me it works as documented: I click "Get", it asks for Face ID to confirm it's really me, then a few seconds later I have the app installed and ready to use. Again, I don't think you're doing anything wrong, and I don't doubt your experience. But I really think something's fundamentally wrong somewhere, because what you're dealing with is not normal. It's not the common experience others are tolerating.

Oh yes, it's pretty clear to me that something is wrong on Apple's side specifically with my account. Obviously people are having close to zero friction with Apple's stuff. I can't complain though because I have this account for like couple decades and loosing that account would be painful. Apple did ban my account twice on the grounds that it's a US account while I'm not physically located there. I was able to revert the ban by explaining that I've got a US legal entity (account, banking card, etc) and thus I beg to continue using it. Not taking chances for the third time, so I silently endure.

  > Obviously people are having close to zero friction with Apple's stuff. I don't believe that to be true, I have been having issues with Apple bugs for the last 7-8 years. Totally unnecessary friction due to features I do not want and do not use.
