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)

It won't work because of too many false positives. People are already trained to ignore warnings, like how they blindly accept T&C without reading.

There aren't too many false positives, it's just that most modern android software is malware.

Saying "this will steal your data" is probably correct.

So what were actually asking users is to install some malware, if it's provided by a big enough tech company, but not other malware. Of course users get confused.

Just stop downloading apps altogether and run the web views in the original web view - the web browser.

Will Google, Meta et al. do that and abandon their apps? Of course not, they need to install malware.
