Why each option
SharePoint 2016 restricts certain app types from the SharePoint Store unless the Internet-facing endpoints feature is activated, which unblocks apps requiring external connectivity.
The 'Apps that require accessible internet-facing endpoints' feature controls whether apps needing external service communication can be installed from the SharePoint Store. Without activating this feature, apps that depend on internet-facing OAuth or callback endpoints are blocked while simpler apps remain available. Activating it removes this restriction and allows users to install any supported app type.
Configuring store settings for purchasing addresses payment permissions, not the technical restriction on which app types are installable - users can already access the store, so this does not resolve the problem.
An App Catalog is required to host and deploy apps internally, but since users can already install some apps from the store, a catalog is presumably in place and deploying another one does not address app-type restrictions.
Deleting the App Catalog and reprovisioning Subscription Settings is a destructive action that targets infrastructure, not the feature flag controlling internet-facing app support, so it would not resolve the restriction.
