  • apps are downloaded from github not from apps.nextcloud.com (github is using cloud storage for some assets)

We can't control this. The appstore basically is just a collection of URLs where an app can be downloaded. It could be any website out there. Of course most of the times app maintainers use GitHub releases, but there are also apps that are hosted on private servers or on gitlab or such services. So maybe a proper explanation is better than the "this is a full list of URLs/IPs".

Yes and the same for apps themselves, that they can use external connections (weather, news, radio, mail, ...)
