FDroid has 0.2% of app volume of Play Store.

Don't mistake obscurity for security. FDroid isn't the size to even be noticed by problems that Play Store and AppStore are dealing with.

This is exactly why I gave the example of Debian repos.

  • Which again work on a model of a single entity having all the curation power.

    • My point is that Google does not want to protect users by restricting "side loading". If they actually wanted that, they would remove all the malware in their store. They are just building higher walls in the walled garden to lock you in.
