I don’t find that shocking, and to be honest, I don’t really see too much of a problem with forcing people to give that information to be on the play store. But to let people make programs that run on the hardware at all is crazy. Forbidding third party app stores is the most anti competitive bullshit ever.
Do they have any evidence that F-droid serves more malware than Play Store?
Since they force everything to be open source and i think has strict rules, no
I mean, there are many excellent open source malware.
The ??? Is mostly phishing campaigns, I think.
According to them, when they added a similar registration process and requirements for the playstore they saw a SIGNIFICANT drop on malware.

That’s because the playstore caters to everyone, including the children and the dumbest people on the planet.
