Found the solution for me.

It ended up being the "Format" field under the "Regional" settings.

Doesn't matter that my primary language, display language, and even over-ride system language are all English, the Beta Store looks at the "Format" field. This one:

If it's not set to "English (United States)" the beta store will not function correctly!

Once I changed that to "English (United States)", closed and reopened the store - everything started working smoothly.

Changed it back to "Hebrew" as it was before - store stopped working - install button became unresponsive.

I found this via the windows event viewer, where I found this error:

DownloadUrl failed - 404 for https://displaycatalog.md.mp.microsoft.com/products/9WZDNCRFJB9S?market=neutral&language=he-IL&fieldsTemplate=Full
Function: DownloadUrl
Source: The parameter is incorrect. (enduser\windowsupdate\client\installagent\dll\httphelpers.cpp)

So I realized it had to be picking up the "He-IL" string from somewhere, and the only place I had it set was the "Format" field above (which usually doesn't affect apps)

Not sure about other regional settings (As I have them all set on English (United States) already) but you might wanna look into those settings if you're still having issues.
