What a terrible decision, how does that do anything other than fuck over small developers? The ones who want to publish "unsafe" apps will just cheat the system
How about they actually deal with the low quality, spammy apps that are already published?
I'll give a good example, VPN apps, specifically the ones published by "Country VPN LLC", they have 145 apps that are just titled copy-paste "(insert country) VPN", nor do they actually provide the VPN location they claim. And there's more just like that publisher, such as "Proxy Master & Turbo VPN" and "AltApps" both of which have 14 apps that are titled for different countries
