I think I found the problem. // edit, it's exactly what you mentioned in your other post actually!
As I travel quite often, my account was linked to Amazon.de whilst I'm actually living in Italy.
This resulted in the skill not showing at all. I now changed my settings to Italy and was able to both find and activate the Hue skill.
Just need to wait to get back home to check if it's actually operational or not.
Thanks!
PS: This explains why Alexa started talking in German to me upon initial activation haha.

There's a suggestion here
https://www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D56Q0000BZZKheSQH/phillips-hue-skill-no-longer-exists
that you need to authorise it again
just fixed the issue... apparently it was about expired authorisation. I re-authorised Philips Hue on "amazon.de" and the issue has been resolved.
The skill definitely still exists and still works. I just removed it and added it back again to test.
The device you're using to access Alexa shouldn't make any difference (unless you were inadvertently previously using a device with built-in zigbee and were actually controlling the lights that way), it's just an interface to the underlying account.
