The iTunes app was discontinued on Macs when macOS Catalina 10.15 was released and it cannot be installed on a Mac running Catalina or Big Sur. See the following for information about the replacement apps: What happened to iTunes? - Apple Support

You now use Finder to backup your iPhone. See: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with your Mac - Apple Support
