I did so because I needed to use some of the newer file management functions that are not available on the old devices. Note that when document management was introduced it came without a file selector and Google only supplied a file selector in the newer version.

In addition the HP 45 Emulator was removed from the Store for a perceived security violation in one of the very old versions. That was a bit of a surprise. Google isn't only checking the new versions for perceived security violations. They check APK versions that are in the store for 10 years demand that you fix it — or remove the old APK.

And in this particular case the perceived violation only needing a fix if your minAPI is below a certain threshold. On newer Android version the needed fix was part of the OS itself.

Needless to say that under those condition removing the old APK and increasing minAPK was the only viable option.

PS: perceived — non of the security violation actually affected a simple calculator app.
