...Does the author not understand that the Google Play Store is not the only distribution mechanism for apps? Why not just continue to distribute APKs for users to install manually?

I’m not sure why it can’t continue to be. Does anyone know why?

Now seeing as it is open source (hooray) The way I think that will go is as follows, we will continue using the existing apk(I get mine off f-droid) for a few months to years, in the meantime seeing as the app is so useful to so many a few forks will arise, one will end up being the best, and we will eventually start using that one.
