Note that third party app stores like F-Droid still aren't first-class citizens like Google Play, since every installation still needs to be confirmed by an os popup, they can't automatically install updates on most phones.

    TBF if it wasn't without a popup it would be insanely easy to install malware without the user knowing

    You even get that popup on windows when installing something.

    The only thing I see a problem with is that something like fdroid can't be installed from the play store

    they should at least give an option to be able to skip that. like the user manually enabling a special permission for a single app that before enabling it you see multiple scary warning screens, confirming that you know what you're doing.

    it's my fucking phone, just let me update my software without having to go through manually clicking on update 30 times.

    F-Droid can do unattended installs, you just need A13+ and the basic client.

    NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.
