This isn't the issue that's at stake here though: The question is:

> Who is making the decision which code is allowed to run on my device?

The status quo is already that can make this decision yourself. There are other people who make different decisions from you.

The proposed change is trying to take this decision away from you and making google the arbiter of which code is allowed to run.

The core of this issue is the opposite of "publishing an app to a global scale ecosystem" - I want to publish an app that is useful for me and a very small circle of people, that is what's being taken away.
