Maybe it's bragging rights as to which store has the most apps; the CEOs of the parent companies have been known to exhibit the behaviour of nine-year olds at times.

I think it was done by Sam & Co. After all, people seem to still be paying for it so why not keep it available if the cost is low? If Google started changing apps they would be in a world of lawsuit hurt. "You changed my app without permission and now I have bad reviews. You owe me $1,564,010!"
