I understand why, but I in no way agree or think it’s good or acceptable. They’re mainly an ad company, so giving users the option to filter out apps with things they earn money from doesn’t make sense for them. It’s shitty, but logical.
There are third-party apps for the playstore, maybe one or several might have that option? Only one I know the name of just from memory is Aurora, check it out and see if it has those options.
Now? Taking trash has been a crime for a long time. Dumpster diving, for example, you’re literally taking the stuff they threw out, but it’s illegal to do so. This is trash that’s still inside the store, I’m not surprised they don’t like it (but I don’t agree, at all).
