Instagram too, which only ever showed up on Windows Phone briefly years later – in 2016. In any case, not having YouTube was pretty ridiculous back then, since that was already one of the world's most popular websites, and my most visited social media(-ish) site. Windows Phone just fell behind Android and iOS from a technical standpoint, as it seemed. It wasn't just developers refusing to bring their apps over to Windows Phone, because the user adoption wasn't as great as on Android and iPhone. So Microsoft kind of shot itself in the foot, there, and is partly to blame for Windows Phone never getting many of the really popular apps. Both times over Google being unhappy with Microsoft how it never made the Windows Phone "browser upgrades necessary to enable a fully-featured YouTube experience." So yeah, the app situation on Windows Phone was pretty bad, especially after Google removed its super-popular YouTube app from the Windows Phone Marketplace… twice. There was, and still is Microsoft Word, though, and just for fun, check out how tiny this phone is even against an iPhone 12 mini
