    No, thanks. Here’s an idea Google - how about you keep your greedy paws off the apps I install from different sources, since I have good reasons for doing so?

      There’s plenty of good reasons to transfer update ownership to the Play Store, too. Besides, it’s optional. Options are a good thing to have.

        If users wanted updates from Play Store, they would install the app from the Play Store.

        I’m interested, can you give a few examples?

        That’s true, until it’s not an option because a “bug” converts your apps to play store builds, and until this option gains a non-optional feature that nags you every x days to googlify your apps and expects that at some point you will either accept or misclick it. This is not something unheard of, play protect already does this.

        Aside from self-hate or suicidal tendencies, I fail to see which.
