I mean... Google was right to do this, but K-9 Mail was right to do what they did as well.
Not sure how you fix this, other than Google apply some of their search smarts to the playstore that they have on the search engine.

Also the person who added that text to the description...probably about 5 years ago.
My only real complaint is that Google pulled the app with zero notice. It feels abusive to pull apps from the Play store for a non-malicious violation of the terms (that may well predate those terms) like this.
Even a 48 hour notice of "we will remove your app if you don't change the description" would have been pretty reasonable.
The solution is straightforward and the team is already on top of a resubmission with an updated description. This is absolutely not a hill I want to die on.
It's difficult to describe the stress of having to deal with what is presumably an indiscriminate algorithm, potential heuristic, or some new quota.
It's dumb, but it is what it is.
