You know what I've noticed? I have a pixel pro 9, like a quarter of the apps I look for on the app store say "this app is not available for your device"

In my experience, 100% of the time the app works perfectly fine anyway. Google is just lying.You can install them using the alternative Play Store frontend called Aurora Store. Aurora is available in the F-droid repository.

On LineageOS I think F-droid is not installed by default but you can get it from https://f-droid.org/

Are you grapheneos? I've noticed similar for my Pixel Fold 10 but assumed it was an odd combination of the two.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

lineage, but yeah, you think rom might be the cause?

[–] rakeshmondal@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yeah the rom is most likely the reason. Give aurora store a try
