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.

Maybe they shouldn't offer a "OK" button that the stupid user can blindly click. They could tell you, "this app is dangerous, go to system settings to enabled" and a "Dismiss" button.

I'll point to Windows Vista that went all in on this kind of security, even giving you a big warning if you tried to change your background. The computer magazines quickly published guides on how to change a slider or registry setting to reduce the amount of stupid warnings, and the people were quickly trained to ignore and just hit OK on these screens.

Anyway, Apple already does this with unknown apps downloaded from the internet, you need to go to security settings and hit a button there.
