They've started displaying ads: https://www.reddit.com/r/NovaLauncher/comments/1qhzbws/is_no...

The SDKs are also part of the app even if you paid for it, and there are reports on reddit of paid users seeing ads (that might be a bug, but still).

There's also the privacy side of this. It's not in my interest that my launcher sends data about me to Facebook/Meta.
