I have an old launcher, and even an old version of it. Version 2 was great, version 3 came with small cosmetic changes I didn't like, plus fucking ads. So I restored v2 from backups and stopped allowing auto-updates, to stay on v2.

One day the makers disappeared from the Play Store, voila, no more auto-enshittification, I win!

except it's a matter of months, a couple years tops, until your old app stops working o doesn't work with your new phone
Nova Launcher is 13 years old.

Having to change your launcher every 10 years isn't too bad.
