Google is apparently taking down all/most Fediverse apps from the Play Store

It might be Apple forcing them to do so. For example you can't publish app with porn content. Even if your app is some kind of forum, you're obliged at least to filter out explicit content in the app.

Browser seems to be an exception.

I know nobody reads the articles but what about reading the title?

Does reddit filter out porn in the reddit iOS app? And what would Apple have to do with Google’s Play Store?

Yes with the standard settings in place you have to navigate directly to nsfw subreddits and even then there is a age restriction in place. There are no auto fill suggestions nor search results and there is no nsfw content on the /r/all page inside the app.
