I'm not sure, it seems others can't find it either. My own simple gallery works fine and without the new stuff everyone is complaining about here (I got it from f droid, so that's why). Maybe it's because it can't take down the page for a downloaded app?
Simple Gallery hasn't and couldn't have received the privacy-intruding update yet, as its last update was in October, according to the data on Play Store, i.e. before the acquisition. People are complaining about Simple Messenger, for now.
My own install of Gallery is from F-Droid, just as yours, yet I don't see it there anymore. It's not visible on the F-Droid website, unlike e.g. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.keyboard/
Maybe you can see it if you're using some repository other then the default one? Or your repository data hasn't been updated recently? Idk, just guessing.
I suppose we shall never know. F droid and all apps are up to date for me, so it's not that... I am not tech savvy enough to find out lol.
