I’m gonna guess that it involves something in the Terms and Agreement that no one actually reads.

Usually distribution rights or breach of contract

Get a custom OS on Android and install free standing apks. Actually, many apks are hacked anyway. So find and just install them. No need to change OS. But rooting+custom OS might offer ways to make it way easier.

Apple probably does the same thing. You pay 20 bucks for an app that gets taken down from the store: does the next phone get it still?
