The cask has not been majorly updated in almost 10 years years and is used to connect to a mobile app that hasn't been on the Play Store for almost 5 years, while easily underneath the minimum threshold of downloads for being removed. What's wrong with asking to expedite the removal process, considering the process is detailed in the guidelines?

Asking is one thing, the other thing is not accepting the decision of a maintainer on a topic that is at the maintainers discretion and instead taking it to social media [1] [2] for it to be brigaded.

Addendum: It additionally appears that this was filed before the browser was even launched, if the Wayback Machine and their social media posts are anything to go by.
