sometimes investment firms will buy an entire portfolio of businesses.. the titles that arent really profitable are then 'set it, and forget it'. the popeil two-step. kinda smells like that here.
pure conjecture

But the thing is that, even with apps that haven't updated in years, I can usually download them from my library. But in the case of DreamSky, every app they ever released is completely missing from my library, they're even missing from my purchasing history.

Somewhat unrelated but :
As someone that lost a developer account due to not uploading anything for a year I can confirm the app I uploaded a couple years ago is no longer in my history.
Google closes your account for not updating or uploading apps.
I'm not sure why your comment is just now showing up in my inbox but I've looked into it and there are developers who haven't updated or released any apps in the last 5 years and I can still see and download their apps. An example I can give is mkrupczak3, who has only released one app and it hasn't been updated in almost 5 years.
Also, something else that is interesting, there was a developer named DeNA Corp. They were the developers for Final Fantasy Record Keeper*. Despite the fact that the game has been EOL for about 1 and a half years now and the Developer's account seems to have been deleted, I can still download the game. I don't think it works anymore but it's something interesting I thought I'd bring up.
*The link works for me when I'm logged in but it doesn't work when I'm not logged in, so it might not work for you if you've never downloaded that game before.
