We had to have certificate transparency, browsers distrusting ca's from vulnerable ca's and so on. So i would argue this is not as simple as that. I dont necessarily trust fortnite keeping their keys secure, for example.

If google play implemented the functionality provided by F-droid, they wouldn't need to. Manufacturers should just put F-droid on new devices as standard.
