I think the answer is better curation and ranking. And perhaps some sort of reputation system (eg. This app is by OpenAI vs “This app is by some unknown spot”)

i like to compare this to linux distributions. the package repositories are curated by a large group of volunteers. i don't se why a company like microsoft would not replicate that.
in particular it could disallow multiple apps with similar names and an online search for the app name should reveal the correct page the first hit.
They must be doing at least a little bit of that right now. Thus I assume review scammers with smartphone farms are doing their best to improve their rankings on the daily.
