On Sun,
I think the reason that this tactic is rare is a very human one. Most

As far as I understand, these guys can remove any apps from the Play Store
with minimal (or no?) risk for themselves – and there is nothing we can do

Thank you, Piotr, for an extremely interesting - but shocking comment.
You wrote: Any reason you have not issued fake DMCA takedown notice

Now, theoretically, issuing fake/unsubstantiated take-down notice can get
