That's not an app store. That's just a gallery of Spotify partners...

Due to the way music licensing works, Spotify would never have had the same type of app store as Apple or Google.

It was a listing of apps on the Spotify platform.

The main point is, Spotify has a platform, like Apple, but is throwing stones from a glass house when it comes to trying to build on the platform.

Most of the integrations do not have anything to do with using the copyrighted music, e.g. a playlist export app.

Most Spotify integrations literally involve playing music through Spotify, so it's curious that you pick one of the very rare integrations that do not.
