See, that is fine. If Google wants to have a safe and curated, high quality store, (which it doesn’t), it is very logical that it would want to have the origins of software very well identified.
AS LONG AS it provides a mechanism for users to access other sources of software.
They are doing the opposite, allow bullshit apps in the “safe store” while hindering the independents.
We desperately need a decently competent OSS phone OS, if possible with a compatibility layer for Android apps.

I mean, yeah. They do. Would it be finally enough to stop all scammers online? All in on a clear “No”.
