Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.
