Why does Google Play Protect stop me from sideloading apks (from, say, Obtainium) while almost regularly I read reports about malicious apps being available in Google Playstore itself ? Why do they allow those ?

Probably just a rant out of frustration. I ignore those alerts if I am confident about the apk I’m sideloading, lol.

    I too use droidify and unobtainium and have never received such pop-ups. I guess if it warns you there’s the possibility the app is malicious or requests sensitive permissions.
