I think there is likely a dual motive from Google where they both want to stop malware _and_ stop people blocking youtube ads. The malware problem is real though.

Yes but using a real problem as a vehicle for increased control and permission is, in it of itself, a Trojan horse.

Google is doing the same thing the fake apps are doing. Real problem: bad ads. Solution: cracked app. Trojan: too many permissions, steals data.

Google: problem: bad apps. Solution: advanced Google DRM. Trojan: too many permissions, steals data.
