 I have no beef in this (non-)discussion, but you can only download
again, if the "original source" still exists!

 That's often - and probably even most of the time - the case for
software downloaded from Apple's App Store. But in some cases, an app
might be withdrawn from the App Store, which means it is no longer
available for download/installation on a new device.

 
My problem in the (on-topic for this Android group) Play Store is not so
 much apps disappearing but rather the 'won't work on this device' label.
 And they won't even let me try.

  If it's a free (as in no-cost/not-paid) app, you can often find it on
APK archive sites and try it that way. That's what I did for alleged
incompatabilities, geo-fencing, etc.. My main source was/is apkpure.com
where you can also search on the 'id=' which you see in the Google Play
URL.

Gosh, I've made it over a week now without any Windows stuff in the house.
 Haven't missed it a bit...

  Are you for real!? What on earth will you do with all that spare time?
Don't you know that we're all *entitled* to problems!?
