>Fdroid still has the privileged extension whereas droidify and Neodroid can use Shizuku and other options.

What is all of this, care to elaborate?

A lot of actually uncommon knowledge is being assumed here.

F-Droid Basic, a cut down version of the official F-Droid client, supports the Android 12+ unattended app updates [1]. This allows for a store to update apps without user confirmation (if it was the store which installed (or updated?) the app originally) [2].

NeoStore can do that as well. It doesn't require root, it's simply an option.

Not on modern versions of Android.

This still doesn't bring up Fennec if searched for 'browser'. Neo Store does.
