You've answered your own question: "I disabled google play on my main device"
Your purchase is linked directly to google play. With google play disabled, the app can't connect to google play services to verify the purchase.
Pretty much every paid app on the play store will give you the same results. Same with paid features of otherwise free apps.
Not stardew valley. That's the first and only other paid app I installed on my phone.
Stardew Valley may have not implemented any DRM to check for ownership.
It was I guess, but its change after 1.5
Good for them
It's possible for apps to check with Google Play services that you've actually bought them and didn't just install an apk. It can't make that check if you've disabled Google Play though. Most games on Steam for example work the same way.
