How to download 3rd party apps that don't show up on App Store.

On my new laptop in the App Store there was no apps to download such a Netflix Disney + snapchat YouTube and roblox

but I went on Roblox and tried to play and downloaded the app from there but I can't do that for the other apps and was wondering if anyone knew how to make those show uo in App Store or download them

and I know its possible because my friend has the listed apps on her laptop.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.1

The Developers of those do not include a version of the apps that are made for the Mac. A Silicon Mac is capable of running iOS apps and you can find more information here:

Since those apps do not have a Mac version, they expect you to access their service using a web browser and all of them are capable of doing that with Safari.
