Google could soon enable remote app removal through the Play Store (www.androidpolice.com)

Google's Play Store offers remote app installation and now potentially remote app removal, making it easier to manage apps across connected devices running on Android.
Using the Play Store on smartphones, tablets, or desktops is usually quicker and more convenient than using it on devices like smart TVs or wearables, which may have limitations.
Remote app removal would be particularly useful for app management on those devices, and could eventually help remove unwanted apps from all your devices with a single click.

On paper this sounds cool, but I am concerns what will trigger a remote removal. I have tons of games on my phone that are no longer on the play store due to the company removing it. Will this mean that if a game gets removed from the service it will auto remove from my phone? if that's the case not cool.
