Right, but I’m outside their house, asking others who are standing on the sidewalk with me, why they think they have these rules.
Smartphone app stores are a duopoly, so I don't think Google should have total freedom to decide what they allow and what they don't.
There are at least three, actually, since Amazon also runs their own store which can be installed on any Android device. Samsung has another one specifically for Samsung devices, and there's also F-Droid though that might not count as a "store" since it doesn't handle payments. Anyone else can start their own the same way. Only the Apple devices are restricted to apps from their vendor-specific app store.
A great way to have nobody come to your parties.
Or a good way to avoid having party guests trash your house.
Can't have party guests trash your house if nobody comes to your party!
