@JamesDBartlett3@techhub.social No, it's not really if you analyse it. It's Google taking control of your device and "sideloading" is a loaded term. No one should have to use the Playstore. Also the Playstore is full of scams and malware (not the same thing). It's up to Google (Alphabet) to manage the Playstore (which they do badly), not your device. It's abuse.. Imagine if MS or IBM had tried this in the 1980s on PCs? Or Apple on Apple II & Mac. Or Amstrad on the PCW. MS and Apple also now too controlling.
