- Play store apps have multiple critical vulnerabilities as reported at https://termux.github.io/general/2022/02/15/termux-apps-vulnerability-disclosures.html and since they cannot be updated with fixes, any users using older versions would be vulnerable.
- They should be disabled because deprecated things get removed and are not supported after some time, its the standard practice. It has been many months now since deprecation was announced and updates have not been released on Play Store since after `29 September 2020`.
- The new versions have lots of **new features and fixes** which you can mostly check out in the Changelog of [`Github Releases`](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases) that you may be missing out. Extra detail is usually provided in [commit messages](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/commits/master).
