Mary is correct, there is no way Apple would offer a refund for an app which a developer has possibly abandoned completely. For all you know some developer who came up with the greatest $1.99 Fart app 6 years ago has by now died of severe bloating and while he may continue to fart away int he app store, Apple of course can't very well ask him for a refund and Apple, which initially would have received 30% or whatever they collect from all sales will certainly not refund people for apps that have come and gone, the app store is full of these. Then there are apps like Fleksy for which people paid I think $15 when it first came out, then the price dropped and a couple of years later it was a free app and remains so, Tap Tap See is another example of a paid app which first went to a subscription model and which now is free. Officially Apple doesn't even have a policy in place to provide refunds for apps which turn out not to be accessible although if you ask for a refund for such an app in a reasonable period of time and give a reasonable explanation they normally will give a refund.

I've never heard of anything like that before. I don't know of any rules that Apple would have forcing devs to give refunds if they abandon an app that people paid for.
