They are not normal executables, but they sure are normal Android executables. I don't see how that changes the expectations about being able to execute them.

- jayd16 5y ago"Normal" (as in most common) means Google Play Store native apps. That's a lot of functionality to shim.

If you want to argue quality-of-implementation[0] issues, go right ahead, but that's not the same problem as requiring code signing/app store. 0: ie, that windows doesn't really support APKs because it doesn't provide the APIs needed for them to work properly
