The Amazon Fire tablets are a great example.

Not all devices come with the Google Play Store, even if they have other preinstalled stores. Scroll down to All versions and find the one you need. If this doesn't matter to you, the latest non-beta version also works. When you sort by app or developer rather than APK, choose the version of the app you want.

APKs are still popular, but the Google Play Store enforces the use of the Android App Bundles format by default for new apps. With the rise of "bundling" and split APKs, the original APK format is no longer the default choice for some app developers. You can sideload many Android apps without using a third-party installer, but that's starting to change.
