Well, I’ll be damned. They finally won one it sounds like.

    The Play Store doesn’t allow other app stores.
    “4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.” - Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement

    Computers have had warnings about installing software since the beginning of computers

    I think “Computers” go back way farther than you’re imagining. There was a time when you didn’t even install software on computers. You just put in a disk and ran what was on it. We don’t even need to go back to when “Computer” was an actual job title. Something that humans (mostly women) did.

        …huh? Why would there be an app store inside an app store?

        To make it easy to access other app stores of course. You can use one web browser to download another can’t you.

        No I was just speaking simply. You know what I meant.

        Maybe too simply, because I really don’t. Windows didn’t give any warnings about installing any programs until Windows 10 I think. And even it’s only the truly esoteric and unknown.
