alt Hacker NewsNot shilling, your points are just bad. I could just as easily say "You are one person who makes money, therefor you are always bad". Silly.
Your argument is basically "If the Android team cared about user safety then Google would shut down as a business to support them". It's nonsense.
Google restricts sideloading "for your safety", while their app store is full of scam apps and F-Droid has zero malware. Don't you find this slightly illogical?
