Any reason why the F-Droid version is behind the official one?

I mean, you should now have learned that you can't rely on one single distribution channel.

The same reason that software is outdated in many GNU/Linux repositories. F-droid is a repository that builds all software from source on a different schedule than every individual application developer, the google play store is just a platform where the application developer uploads the binary.
