I don’t think they’ve done this out of a desire to help nor caving to public pressure, I believe they want to discourage users from being pushed to use third party app stores like F-Droid and finding out they’re good.

It’s only a change when public opinion matters…otherwise all the smaller apps suffer from The same consequences of enshitification and gatekeeping. Why we need alternatives in the mobile space

Happy they did something for once. Assholes
