Sometimes The Play Store will hide an app, or claim it's not available 
for a given device.  Most recent example here, the new Google Weather 
app, supposedly a Pixel exclusive, yet it refused to install on my 
Pixel8a, I downloaded from apkmirror instead.

Other Pixel exclusives like generating AI wallpaper,or managing 
screenshots, I could probably force install them the same way, but ...meh.
