F-Droid provides a curated list of FOSS apps for Android which can be installed via the F-Droid app.

It would be a lot more complicated to provide a similar service for iOS.

even f-droid not in play.google, ofcourse FOSS community can use f-droid (or similar solutions) or self hosted apk's, but we already choose FOSS in our daily basis life (i'm choose if there is a libre version of some app event doesnt have same functionality with closed one, i use libre version), my offer brings more FOSS to mobile world with some guarenteed like this software can not contain spyware, malware, adware such and published most used market places (for android play.google and for ios app store, etc.)

there is a big expensives in mobile development cycle if we compare the desktop/embed platforms. we have million softwares as libre/open but not in mobile world with same quality and amount.
