ELI5: How does Minecraft stay at/near the top of the app store downloads for seemingly...ever. Shouldn't everyone who has ever wanted it have it by now?

Like I get it, there are new smartphone owners constantly, but it just seems crazy that there are enough people that still haven't bought Minecraft but who want it, enough to be more than almost any other paid app...in perpetuity.

I have one word for you:  Children.

Kids love Minecraft, and every year millions of kids become old enough to get their first smartphone, or be entrusted with an old hand-me-down from a parent or sibling.  And many, *many* more households have smartphones than have PCs or consoles, so the only way most of them can play Minecraft is via the mobile app.
