Now, the latest APK Teardown of the Play Store app v42.9.16-3 reveals several strings related to a download manager feature. While the strings don't reveal much about the functionality of the download manager, they suggest that it organizes the apps. It is often challenging to recall the apps that you have recently installed, but the download manager could probably address the issue.
Folks at Android Authority were able to enable the feature and give us a look at how the Play Store download manager would look if Google ever made the feature live for all users. The download manager within the Google Play Store shows a list of apps that are currently downloading and all the recently installed apps that you haven't opened.

This sounds like a great feature! It would indeed be helpful to have a download manager that organizes your apps and shows the ones you've recently installed but haven't opened yet. Looking forward to seeing this feature live.
