Google weaponizing Play Protect against sideloaded APKs from F-Droid would be textbook anticompetitive behavior disguised as user safety. The same playbook they used with scoped storage and SMS permissions, where security justifications get stretched to fence users into the Play Store. Anyone who has watched Google slowly boil the frog on alternative distribution over the years saw this coming.
