The fact that you don't even realise why that wouldn't work is kind of telling.
> users aren't being 'trained' to ignore warnings
Of course they are. Every time they click "continue anyway" and it actually isn't malware (which is 99% of the time) they are being trained that the warning is nonsense.
And they're right! What use is a warning that an app might be malware, if a) it actually isn't almost every time you see the warning, and b) you have no way of telling if it is or isn't anyway?
I hate this move too and I don't think they should have done "just make the warning even bigger!" is obviously dumb.
