Their reasons mean nothing. It’s my device. I shouldn’t have to worry about an application installed on my device being policed because the developer got a hair up their ass about people downgrading.

The phrase “more secure” is becoming meaningless as it keeps being used as a blanket excuse for literally every user hostile change.

Sure, it’s your device. But it’s their app. Ultimately, it’s the developer’s call to make. You don’t have to use their app.

We can still use their app with a little help from my reverse engineering tools.

Cool, sounds like it ain’t a problem for you then. As I imagine it’s not a problem for most people.
