You could argue that it's for "security" but it doesn't actually make it more secure at all. Those who want to go past security checks like these already go past them through creating patches with rooted phones. And those who just want a phone without google, should have the right to have it their way. This change only serves to reduce user freedom and may signal a future where Google exerts complete, iron-fisted control over the Android ecosystem.

I feel we should do a write-up on Google's hail mary to "protect" users, which in reality restricts consumer choice by ultimately disabling sideloading of apps and making Google a monopoly in app distrubution through their Google Play Store, which I recommend people to not use due having the living day lights of that crap having been enshittified.
