The specific section about removing VPNs from apps stores is quite unclear, I'll give you that, but factoring in how that section is structured, it's safe to say it's meant to be an order to remove VPNs from app stores.

The listed VPNs are just examples. The order to take down VPN apps affects every VPN provider.
