It's not a coincidence that this big push for Safetynet/Play Integrity happened after the pressure against Cyanogenmod and then Huawei.

If they really care about scams, they could remove all these casino-like games on the playstore. But they aren't going to do that because a huge chunk of the playstore revenue comes from those scam games.

This is textbook whataboutism. The type of device-pwning malware Google is concerned with here has very little in common with "casino-like games on the playstore".

No it isn't. Both are sources of scam and I'd argue that the scam officially hosted on the store is orders of magnitude more widespread than anything using direct installs.

If it's really a problem they care about, here's some priorities. (And I'd personally happy if they cared as I have some family members who got scammed by those)
