The use of the unity asset to launch a web browser to load code to run a very basic drawing tool seems like a very likely reason that Google says this policy was violated.
Such an app could easily include the source files for such a basic web app or could have actually just been a web app.
There are two possible explanations for implementing a web app like this. One benign inexperience/laziness/incompetence and the other is a malicious intent to target specific users with a different payload in certain circumstances.
While this developer isn't being malicious, removing this sort of app does appear to be the right call by google.
The problem here arises from how the lack of transparency impacts people who are trying to learn. We need gatekeepers, but we also need those gatekeepers to be sufficiently transparent that we don't keep out newbies but educate them.
