Do you, by any chance, have OFFLOAD UNUSED APPS set to ON in Settings? If YES then that function offloads the app (not the app's data) that is not used in a while. When you are ready to use those less used apps then it downloads them again. This is a space saving function. Below is how to check whether this function is active:

Open Settings ➔ App Store ➔ Offload Unused Apps : Set this to OFF if you want all the apps downloaded and remain that way.
