    I mean, I get those warnings though, you are installing a binary that was not reviewed, and of all of the other major OSs, this is essentially impossible on iOS, you get a very similar warning on Windows, and you need to use sudo on Linux, and I’ve never used Mac in any significant capacity, so I don’t think that’s a good argument.

    The auto update thing could be a reasonable argument though.

    And yeah, I know that realistically nothing will change, but I’m still surprised that Google lawyers couldn’t demonstrate to a jury that they’re not preventing other companies from using their stores in Android and that the security measures are acceptable and an industry standard.
