Kinda for flathub/website#32

Will need the frontend to change accordingly

I somewhat wonder if it makes sense to rename it. Aren't download counters on other platforms like Google Play or AppStore specifically about "how many times has this app been installed", rather than downloads specifically?

Probably. I just separate those three things in my mind, as the stats website alread has two of the data points and we generate another type (installs) from these.

Yes, as far as end users are concerned it's 'downloads' for apps. What we name it internally of course can be separated if it makes it more clear for 'flathub platform developers' and as for 'app developers' they likely want as much granularity as possible.
