If it’s an issue with newer devices, just don’t show it for newer devices.

Or, since it’s a self serve platform, let the author decide not to show it to new devices.

Delisting seems rather extreme to me.

For privacy violations I think delisting is reasonable otherwise everyone just ignores it. We developers usually get more than a year of warning to fix the apps which hasn't been too onerous.

It does suck for abandonware apps though.
