Please remove nowsecure from marketplace

[jsoref]

nowsecure appears prominently in the marketplace:

https://github.com/marketplace?query=nowsecure

There's no need to list an action on the marketplace unless you're:

• Supporting it
• Looking for more consumers

Anyone can use any public github.com repository as an action source regardless of whether it is published to the marketplace (including from another action, such as your sbom action).

This action doesn't work anywhere close to out of the box

Using the standard use latest version button

yields: https://github.com/check-spelling-sandbox/stunning-bassoon/actions/runs/13559420392

:x: Can't find 'action.yml', 'action.yaml' or 'Dockerfile' for action 'nowsecure/nowsecure-action@v4'.

The advertisement prose hints at problems

There's no reason to continue advertising an action that people can't set up based on the available documentation.
