    yes that is the cynical take, and I mostly agree, but installed apks list their install source, so if that information is there, then its simple to give the user the ability to mark said source as trusted. But to do this under the guise of security, when there is more malware on play than fdroid is such a head scratcher

      The more hoops they put in place to jump through, the less people would consider going outside Google Play. And the more control Google has on the ecosystem.
