why aren't certain common apps not available on App store from my laptop?

Why aren't certain common apps not available on App store from my laptop, yet they are on my iPhone? My system software is up to date (10.15.7) Catalina.

Many developers make apps for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices but not for Mac or Windows computers. In many of those cases they want you to use their website rather than an app for similar functionality on a computer.

iOS is the operating system on iPhones and iPads, not on Mac computers. Their app will only run on iPhones and iPads (and they also have one for Android phones and tablets). They do not have an app for computers. Instead of an app, use the internet browser on your Mac (e.g., Safari) and go to their website -- https://www.ccls.org/
