Apparently, that is the new norm. I copied this from the iPhone, iOS 16 user guide.

Get apps in the App Store on iPhone - Apple Support

Buy and download an app

Tap the price. If the app is free, tap Get.
If you see instead of a price, you already purchased the app, and you can download it again for free.
If required, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to complete your purchase.

You can find the app in the Recently Added category in App Library. While the app is downloading, a progress indicator appears on the app icon. See Find your apps in App Library on iPhone and Change where new apps get downloaded.
