Apps are not stored in iCloud. If you reinstall an app that was deleted, it is downloaded from the App Store, not from iCloud.


Also, you cannot view the contents of an iCloud Backup in iCloud. You can only use the backup to do a full restore of a device or to setup a new device.


The data that you can view at iCloud.com is synced data -- e.g., iCloud Photos, Contacts, Notes, etc. See for example: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support and Set up and use iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
