Google appears to have quietly rolled out a feature to the Play Store that allows users to remotely uninstall apps from other devices.

    is this so app makers can delete their apps on my phone when they go under or get pulled or decide to rob everyone?

      I don’t think you even read the summary in the OP that describes exactly what this feature does. This is a feature for users for their owned devices. You can remotely install apps already. Now you can do the opposite.

      Its for users to uninstall apps they installed.

      Google has always had the ability to remote uninstall apps in the Play Store services since day 1.
