Yeah, but as you said, they are only visible when you are on the main Get
software category, not when you browse installed software or
subcategories like For purchase and other repositories. Isn't this a
rather strange design choice? Isn't it confusing for the end user if it's

Yeah I think they do too, but I wasn't sure if the Unity shell implemented
