Is Apple getting rid of 'iTunes Connect' app in the iTunes App Store??

This is very odd. I've attempted multiple times for 3 days now from several machines / iTunes accounts.

It appears that the iTunes Connect mobile application is not browsable from iTunes App Store.

Aside from trying to search for it by every term I could think of, I've even tried viewing all Apple apps.

However, I could only seem to access it by browsing to a direct link to the app: http://itunes.com/apps/iTunesConnectMobile

Meanwhile, notice it isn't shown if viewing all Apple Inc. related apps: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/apple-inc/id284417353

It has been always like this, I really don't know the reason..

It's because it's not a consumer-orientated App and has always been that way. The link should be found on your developer account page on Apple.com.

It has never been publicly available on iTunes, you can only donwload it through direct link from your iTunes Connect page...

This was my logical conclusion, which makes sense to me. The only reason I questioned this is that Apple doesn't offer current app developers the capability of NOT being advertised when browsing in the store, but only via a direct link. Then again, it doesn't shock me that they make procedures and don't stick to them for their own apps.
