The built-in apps are plenty as to not need to download anything else. Now, security fixes may be an issue.
I don't think that is the full story, because streaming services sometimes require app updates to continue working. For example, I have a HiBy R6 Pro DAP that runs Android. Tidal no longer works on it because the version of Android is too old to run a newer version of Tidal and the old version Tidal is no longer functional. HiBy can't fix it because the hardware is also not compatible with newer versions of Android. This is the eventual fate of all Android devices that depend on 3rd party apps.
