If you delete the App Store app hoping that you'd force iOS to open App Store links in the browser, you're mistaken. iOS will refuse to open the links in your browser and prompts you to restore the App Store app first. As of iOS 18.2, iPhone users can't view iOS apps without sharing identifiable analytics with #Apple.
Side notes: Deleting the App Store app is a new feature in iOS 18.2 only available to EU users. The App Store website supports Android mobile browsers
