They removed the "ICE" app and if the US government has an issue with other Apps they bend over and do it.
Switzerland is currently dealing with a 39% and Brazil with a 50% tariff because Trump has a personal problem with them. It would not be far fetched for an administration to have another states app removed.
I just want to preface that I am not in support of Apple or Google in their closed ecosystem.
I was specifically referring to you saying "Switzerland is implementing a digital ID[1]. It will be made available to the most common devices and is open source. However Google and Apple can just remove it, what then?"
It seemed like you were saying that because it is open source, it will be removed. I simply disagreed with that. Plenty of opensource software exists in the app store.
I'm not disagreeing that they have the ability to remove software from their app stores. They have done that before as you mention. That is a fact.

Sorry if it came across that way. It is not what I meant, I just mentioned that it is open source. ESL...
