Wasn’t it briefly removed last year too?
Televizo was recently removed from the play store as well and came back. Hopefully it's just temporary.

I don’t remember it being removed before but it could have been.
Google have an outdated app policy that requires apps to stay up to date with target api level of new releases of Android.
I suspect the developer identification rules in September will cause a lot of apps to be removed again.
With developer verification, Google's Apple envy threatens to dismantle Android's open legacy
All in the name of faux security while we have hundreds of flashlight apps with location permissions and in app purchases.

Until Google officially stop the sideloading of apps it doesn’t really matter if they are on the playstore. It’s just a convenience for installing and updating them quickly.
They also like their market dominance and one of the reasons for that is their OS is not locked down like Apple’s.
Whether that changes in the future only time will tell.

That makes me happy but the rotating apps leaving the playstore is very troubling especially since nobody really seems to know why. Poor Waveo ended up rebranding and hasn't been seen on it since. That isn't even considering the hot mess poor Sparkle is going through.
Doooooubt it. It'd be a trip though. The AOSP project is starting to gain some serious movement.
I do think with a few quality of life upgrades it'll likely be what a lot of people pivot towards.
I’m getting really tired of Google and Apple interfering with what we can and can’t do with our own devices. Android’s openness has always been one of its biggest strengths, and it would be a shame to see that gradually eroded in the name of “security” while genuinely malicious apps still slip through the cracks, I blame Apple for this set standard they always do this…
sideloading is still an option for now, but it’s hard not to see the direction things are heading.
