As far as I am aware the link should not change.
But if you unpublish the app and re-publish the app it will then create a new link.
People could also access the App from Apps in the Power BI Service.

Yes they would be different because the app was unpublished (Which means the app was deleted)

The behavior I'm observing is that the URL for the report, page within a report, does in fact change even if I don't unpublish it. I've repeatedly updated the report and its data set (Publish button in PowerBI Desktop), and then I click 'update app' in the Power BI online service. New URL generated for the reports, old links break. App link stays the same.
I could definitely understand if I were unpublishing the app, or removing a report / page within a report from the app, but that's not what I'm doing.
- GilbertQI have not seen that happen in all my App workspaces.
I would log a support ticket if it is happening.
