That has NOTHING to do with EtreCheck. Again:

You: In the old days, the developer implied that dragging his App to the
Trash/Bin removed all trace of it from one's computer.

Me: When? Never on macOS... even Classic Mac. So when? Apple IIe?

What "old days" did a developer say dragging his app via dragging to Trash
removed all traces? The answer is: NEVER. This has NEVER been how macOS, or
even Classic Mac, worked.

Being on the Apple App Store, or being notarized by Apple in general,does not
mean Apple has in any significant way investigated, endorsed, or certified a
developer’s trustworthiness in the way you are implying.

You said he changed his tune. Releasing a new app does not show that.

The earliest WBM archive of that page. 22 October 2022.

The text was a bit different but the idea has been there since at least then.

It shows the developer has been very open about the old reports for a long
time. It is a non-issue.
