I honestly don't think this is that big of a deal.

The people that want to still use unverified apps can do so after having to go through the flow once and never again. Those that don't even know what that means can't be easily coerced into installing a malicious app because of the security cooldown period.

This was a bigger issue back when the rumor was that no unverified apps could be installed under any circumstances. Now it's completely overblown but the site seems to be doubling down instead.
