I agree, but al the articles and YouTube videos claim that Apple did this on purpose to cut expenses so it looks like we won’t be getting a fix, wish I bought this phone sooner so I had time to install some apps….

Can’t they at least let us download our purchased apps?
Correct, if you have an outdated iPhone that cannot be updated to iOS 13 or later, many apps will not be able to download. Outdated iPhone no longer meets the requirements for many apps.
Most apps require iOS 13.4 or later.
Considering a newer type of iPhone?
Read this before you buy a newer type iPhone.
It didn’t work for me on today. How sad.
You do realize you're dealing with an iPhone released in 2009, which is 15 years ago. The fact you can get anything to work on a 15 year old iPhone is remarkable to say the least. But so many apps won't run on a 15 year old iPhone and 3G cellular services have been turned off in a large part of the world. Pretty soon the phone will be completely unusable for anything.
It is on the list of older devices, so does this mean i cannot download apps anymore?
I have a newer phone, I have this one in my collection
OK 👍
Nope I guess not 🥲
great news, tried opening the itunes store and the app store today on my iphone 3g.. and it WORKED!
Oh wow, im gonna turn mine on right now to check it out
