> Presumably (some faction inside) Google wants to warn users about scam apps

Or (the ads faction that effectively runs the company) wants to warn users about apps that don't spend much on AdWords and Play Store ads.

That feels more like it, I opened the Play Store to check it out, there was an ad for some waifu-gacha 3 star app with 1k downloads, 19 reviews, released last week, reviews imply it's something that was taken off the store before reuploaded under a new name. No banner saying it's questionable.

Although, I spent a while trying to find an app that did have the banner, and nothing seems to get it on my account.
