Right, because y'all didn't scream when Android games could upload all private photos to their servers because they got this blanket permission to download their game files.
I don't care about games I don't download. I don't see a problem with the fact that if I download and execute a binary file on linux without explicit sandbox, it can mess up my system, that's my responsibility.
Google pretends to care about my security, but they actually care about cementing their monopoly.
That's my take. And even if they aren't using the security argument in bad faith this time, they have so often in the past that now they can reap the rewards of using that argument in bad faith.
