Why are some phones limited to certain apps

OP, can you elaborate on your question a bit?
I think perhaps you were trying to ask why do certain phones have certain apps. Do let us know so we can have a good discussion about it on this thread. Thanks.

When I moved from the Lumia Icon to the Microsoft Lumia 735 there were several apps that were not available for the 735

I'm guessing that some of it could have to do with hardware probably but I'm not sure of all of the possible reasons.

Some apps rely on certain sensors or other specific hardware that the app needs in order to function, such as a compass. The 735 does not have all the same available hardware/sensors.
