    Well tech illiterate people are the last ones I’d trust to properly side load and doing their due diligence of knowing the source of their apk instead of a random one they found on the web.

    Personally when I install F-droid on a new phone I make sure to check the signing keys or at the very least the checksum. As unsafe as Google Play can be I trust tech illiterate people even less of safely getting apks.

        If that is enough to turn them away I don’t buy them being able to get apks properly.

        Spoken like someone who has never had to support tech illiterate people who install software they find online.
