“Running binaries signed either by yourself or by whoever wants to spy on you.”
That last part there is the problem.

Let's ignore all of the preinstalled programs, which are signed by Google and do a great deal of spying.
Do you think the 100 most popular F-Droid apps do more spying than the 100 most popular Play store apps?
No, that’s a straw man. The popular ones are not the concern.
A straw man in your favor, maybe. Shall we compare the 100 least popular of each store?
Those are more likely to be outright malware on Play.

It's an excuse. Give me the option to install the software I see fit. Period.
Is this not a meaningless differentiation if Google does no assume any responsibility for apps on the Play Store?
