Nobody is demanding Google do anything aside from a very loud minority who is scared of everything. There is no malware, scam, fake app problem for anyone with an IQ of more than 70.

There is. But they are as prevalent as ever in the Play Store, so this decision will not move the needle.
I never had a malware/scam/fake app problem. Nobody I know has ever had malware/scam/fake app problem. This feels like a manufactured imaginary problem to me.
From a quick search:

Not sure which numbers you are expecting, but 90 million downloads combined isn’t insignificant.
