Remove MSCA regulator from Japan section

[oliveiraleo]

Hello,

As reported by @ribless-op in #246, the Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA) consulting desk will be shutdown in March, 31th. As stated in MSCA's website (screenshot below) the inquiries should be directed to the Japanese FTC using this form (page in Japanese). Therefore, this PR removes MSCA from the Japan's regulators list.

This PR closes #246

Best regards,
Leo.

Thanks for the contribution.

Do you have any insight into why the MSCA is shutting down? Changes in policy or agenda or leadership? I'd be interested in learning more, but I can't seem to find any English-language information about it…

A few weeks ago, I received a response from the consultation desk stating that they had communicated to
Japan's FTC my (our) concerns and issues regarding the Android Developer Verification program.

I am not positive, but I believe that JFTC has already obtained sufficient information and proof through
the consultation desk to begin a re-investigation into Google as part of the cease-and-desist order that was issued on April 15, 2025.

Until more proof is required, I believe the consultation desk will remain closed.

According to the consultation desk, if JFTC needs more proof, they may get in touch with me.
If JFTC actually asks me for these, please help me find information or proof about the verification program
(or even the 24-hour waiting period) in your country.
Thank you!

Except for the message on their website, I couldn't find any additional information in English. I believe any news regarding MSCA will be shared on MSCA's page of the JFTC website. As far as I can tell, the so‑called 'Smartphone Act' is still in force, so there are no policy changes.

@ribless-op if you or somebody else has extra information (even if it's in Japanese) please, feel free to share it here or in the original issue.

Kind regards,
Leo.
