Well uhhhhh funny story that:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#arch

I know this is not listed in the rules of submission page, but it is in
the general packaging guidelines, and it's not like we haven't been
deleting packages in the past, for precisely this. The rationale being,
the *Arch* User Repository is in theory supposed to be for packages
which can be run on Arch.

It's the same reason we delete Manjaro-specific packages.
