Are you in the EU? It is only possible to delete the App Store if you are in the EU. Otherwise, it will not be on your screen for either of these reasons:

  • It is in the App Store and you can swipe left on your screen until you reach the App Library and place it back on your Home Screen.

Find and use your apps in App Library on iPhone - Apple Support

  • Screen Time Restrictions have been set. If you are on a Family Plan, then the Organizer can control your Screen Time settings, otherwise you can do it on your device at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps.
