If this is a thing then the solution they offer is incorrect. A big giant red screen: “warning the identity of this application developer has not been verified and this could be an application stealing your data, etc” would have worked.

What they want is to get rid of apps like YouTube Vanced that are making them lose money (and other Play Store apps)

There will always be tangential business aims that are designed to be satisfied at the same time as the consumer benefit.

To be fair though, this strategic duplicity is a technique Apple has used since Jobs; so it's not as if Google used the approach first.
