I can't hide apps from purchase history

I follow the instructions by swiping. I tap on hide. A few seconds it reappears. What's the fix?

Also, I saw the rationale in previous posts about not being able to delete a purchase from history, once purchased you can't undelete or undo that you purchased it. I would argue that you can by throwing away the receipt. I think consumers should have a write to have things removed, especially if they are raising a family and want to use family share. The only acceptable answer is that there is a system limitation--don't preach what we should or shouldn't do with our purchase history.
