Seemingly so, but typical of large user base programs , one can pay to get Customer Support. In the case of Google , it would be the Google One App. You can use the lowest tier and it should get you the support team. (Not to be confused with the public Communities , which is like Google's version of Samsung Members ....
Huh.... I figured as Samsung users , were all using a particular type of play store /google frameworks, especially older phone users , .... I remember I was using my device without any of the Samsung account stuff and my play store looked different... When I enabled the Samsung account settings, play store took on a different look, and certain Samsung features became "engrained " into play store .... (Like customization)
Just part of the SELinux frameworks , I guess ...
Will eventually go for a factory reset , but it remains to be seen if those of us who are stuck on these old play store versions are already exploited with APTs , aka "Nosy Persistent Annoyances" (What I'd call them if they are exploited vulns )
