The idea that there are alternatives for anyone but a fringe market without Google is pretty short sited, for example my phone warned me 4 times before it would let me install and use f-droid, each message made it sound like proceeding was compromising my phone.
It's a synthetic but effective barrier to prevent the majority of people from setting it up.
The mobile environment is as bad as chit, and company stores. This won't change by the will of the people alone.
It's hardly fair to suggest other wise.
- 22c 5y agoDroidScript users already sound like a fringe market. Seems like the perfect candidate for F-Droid, however I don't know what the F-Droid policy is on showing ads (which sounds like they are not too concerned about keeping in the app, anyway).
- chalst 5y agoAds are possible but discouraged. They're what F-Droid calls an 'anti-feature', and IIUC Droidscript has a few of them.
