I have noticed a trend recently of high quality, free apps disappearing from app stores. I wonder if it is the changing app store/play store guidelines and changes are making it too difficult to keep up with the changing requirements to keep the apps in the store.
In this case I believe it's because the app was written principally for Windows Phone, which is dead, though I really like it on desktop Windows too. The author moved on to writing a PWA version instead.
There is a bit of a general runaround to maintaining app store presence, keeping versions up to date and stuff, if someone doesn't want to use an app anymore personally and also aren't making money on it, I definitely can't fault them for delisting it.

I think you've hit the nail on the head, its like an extreme version of software rot.
