I think that users knowing the risks of using an unofficial app is a bad assumption.

PocketCasts has many options for blocking the apps use. They can simple secure / update their API regularly, thus breaking the tool or they can simply send him a cease and desist for violating their IP and ToS.

PocketCasts would not want this app to exist, because they will be the ones that will have to deal with the influx of support tickets and customer problems related to this unsupported app.
