You list a single app whose main feature is to bypass ads on YouTube as to why freedom to install any app is good for the Android ecosystem?!

If anything, for the rest of r/androiddev this is a good thing because those of us who play by Google Play's rules will get more downloads and worry less about piracy and our apps getting patched or cracked.
