Obviously, Google is doing it under the pressure of the regulators. But i don't like this hypocritical rhetoric of "protecting users". Wouldn't it be more useful for users protection not to allow into Google Play Store phishing apps or stealth miners?
There no doubt on this matter which is actually true in my own perspective on where this kind of decisions is really under in the pressure or regulators and I don't really believe on that line where they done such decision for the sake of "protecting users" there might be some areas but generally this is really a dumb decision to be made.In short they are enforced to do such thing because theres something behind it.
