The Google play store has version limits. A sideloaded app will almost always work

most of the time? yes.
some apps do actually break with newer android versions though. It's gotten a little better and happened less often after the big step to Android 4 (okay… that is itself more than 10 years ago)
but it can and does still happen sometimes
Android and iOS are both abysmal.

Yeah Android CAN run the app if you have the APK. But also the play store won't let you if the dev hasn't updated the app in a couple of years. Older games are especially bad.
