We forced Google not to be evil."

WTF drugs are you guys on?

At this point, you're looking to be supporting this s#*t by suggesting it is anything but awful news.

Sorry, but no. Submitting to abuser's terms is not a victory. "Things aren't the worst" is not a definition of victory.

It fails to achieve stated goal - scammer apps in appstore keep popping up, and this measure does not change it. It has very different intent.
Imagine you do add-apt-repository, and your machine screams that you might be in mortal danger and now you're on your own, then asks you to wait for 24h. That is what they did to android.

Going two steps back one step forward still makes you go backwards.
This has been a tactic for some time now: make outrageous changes, people complain, changes get rolled back to something that's still outrageous but less, and the complainers see it as a win.
We're incredibly past acceptable because of this.

It's great that there's a work around, but the steps to get the ability to install software are stupid.
