For everyone still using Simple Tools apps, switch to Fossify it's a fork that has all that crap removed
So far I only see Gallery, File Manager, and Calendar on IzzyOnDroid. Hopefully SMS and Contacts will be added soon.
dialer app is released too.
They are still being worked on
You can use Obtainium instead of F-droid. You can install Izzy, FD, or even better, direct from GitHub and other repos instead.
Not removed, it was just never added.
True
Wait what happened I am lost? Are they bad apps now?
Yea. They got bought by a bad company.
Rather it was sold to a bad company.
The dev will have hard time getting anyone trust him anymore.

Thanks! Didn't know about that yet.
Sort of wish I exported my settings from simple to import to the Fossify app before I uninstalled. Oops.
EDIT: reinstalled the old version, exported, erased the app, and finally imported to the new fork. Everything worked great.
The app icon changed from green to orange after import so I uninstalled the wrong app at first. Haha! Was an easy fix once I knew what happened.
Disable updates has never been a solution. It's a bandaid to a gaping wound.
True, but in this case it might be a good option until the corresponding Fossify app is available.
