If an app is pulled due to unpopularity or because it's has a new version (such as that weird OneNote change over), than it can still be found in purchased, and thus can be deleted and downloaded again, even on other devices with your Apple ID.
If an app is pulled due to legal reasons (such as emulators, like GBA4iOS, rest in peace, lol), than it will also be deleted from purchased and once it is deleted off your device, it cant be downloaded again.

Your insights echo the nuanced reality of app removals. The ability to redownload unpopular or updated apps highlights the convenience of Apple's ecosystem, while legal restrictions indeed impact accessibility. A valuable perspective for seasoned app users.
