What do you mean with "refused to patch this"? Google will reject any app publishing attempt that asks for that filter and isn't a launcher on Play store.

Author claims that this same hack is used widely, including by apps on the Play Store like Snapchat and Facebook.

How is that congruent with the article's claim that 31 out of 47 apps they tested had this filter?

No idea, but we did have apps rejected because of similar permissions.
