Android's ability to run binaries outside of the Google Play Store is a key differentiator of their product vs. Apple's. Or at least it used to be.

Unfortunately, it's not a differentiator at all in the market. Not to enough consumers that it remotely matters. For our niche nerdy subculture it's extremely important, but essentially nobody in the grand scheme of things even knows that binary is a thing that exists.

I wonder if, as newer generations grow more tech literate, the demand for this will rise and every OS maker will end up shooting themselves in the foot.

At least one can dream.
