Removing them is irrelevant. One can get the app on their phone and it works fine. This isn't Parler. The intent of deplatforming is to kill an app. There is no deplatforming it for that purpose. It works and has an app icon that works. Think we are parsing the meaning and intent of an action. Deplatforming does not harm Gab. If one wants it they can still get it.
Gab.ai was deplatformed by Go Daddy and they came back as Gab.com on Epik. The Gab app is still usable on Android and iOS, true, but propinquity due to being removed from the app stores causes a decline in use with mobile users which is a significant part of the market.

A lot of normal people go to the app stores, and if they don't find what they want that is the end of their efforts.
I concur with that statement. If they don't get My Pillow at Bed Bath and Beyond then that's the end of their journey.

Wrong. To "deplatform" is to remove from a platform.
