What an incredible coincidence that they introduce ads in the official start menu around the same time that they begin blocking third party start menu replacements.

They do have some legitimate reason to want to block specific versions of those apps if they cause stability issues on a new build of Windows, but at least in the case of StartAllBack the developer noted it isn't targeted at a specific version this time, it's a wildcard block.
