The Play Store has recently (I think about 3 years ago?) introduced delayed updates for things like download counts because they were battling faked statistics (e.g. the download counter could be manipulated by bot farms), so now downloads are accumulated and checked against users actually using the app and having it on their devices - which takes time to update so IIRC they now only update that counter every month. Hence the 0+ downloads.

Both are verified by an automated system.
which is why fake reviews slip through but fake downloads don't really (download count is easy to verify with device feedback, fake reviews require a proper system...)
