I can understand the desire for google to want devs to recompile their apps, but I don't see the need to dump old apps from the app store... who cares if an old app that works wastes 12k if it only needs a single 4k page?

They already force apps to update to new APIs every couple of years, it was the only way to stop developers to keep using deprecated stuff.
