Because if your app is on the Play store, it installs and updates easily and neatly.
If you install a third-party store, every installation is met with scary warnings about installing from unknown sources and how unprotected you are.
It's hard to make a store work if your customers are bombarded with warnings about how dangerous you are.

- jmholla 5y agoThere are popovers that show up every time you install an app from not the play store if you give it permission. And you can't autoupdate apps from not the play store.
