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)

"Displaying an angry warning message" is one of the tools we've used for decades, and never with much success.

You just have a flawed definition of success.

By allowing people to shoot themselves in the foot after ignoring a unmistakable warning, you are helping teach the foolish to be more careful in the future. Making mistakes is the best way to learn something.

People who just ignore big banners will just tell you that "they have been hacked", as if getting hacked is like a weather phenomenon. They won't even connect them getting hacked with the big red banner.

If they even notice, that is. It's just as possible that they play open relay for a year before they move to a new phone because their battery is always dying so fast for some unknown reason.

Right, but the whole point of warnings is to make people be more careful on average than they would otherwise be.

What reason do you have to believe that this goal wasn't achieved?
