    Just Google using their monopoly power to crush a competitor.

    We need a consumer right to sideload on phones from any app store. Apple pulls the exact same shit.

      You could sideload the unrestricted client or install it via FDroid. The problem is that most Android users will install from the Play Store or not at all.

      You can sideload any app on Android. Of course Google does a lot to push you towards using their store instead, but it’s still better than iOS where it’s just impossible.
