The reddit thread makes it pretty clear that KDE Connect installed through third party sources are what's getting uninstalled.

Nobody with it installed from the play store mention it being removed, and though some users that got it from F-Droud mention it still being installed, there are several possible explanations for that. Like me, it wasn't removed on my phone but it turns out I disabled PlayProtect at some point.

Even if it is like you state, link directly there, to the exact posts that prove this and not in an intermediate site. HN is supposed to keep a higher post standard

I have kde connect installed from google play for months now and never got flagged by playprotect, so that's one data point.
