I'm developing apps that require 0 permissions, collect no info, and can be run in Airplane mode yet everywhere I look it seems I have to jump thru hoops to get a simple, innocuous game or app published on any site that has a presence. I guess I'm naive.

Is it all the hoops to get your apps listed in the official F-Droid repository? I know they're a little strict (which I'm fine with), so you can try getting them listed on the IzzyOnDroid repository[0]. Not an Android developer myself, but that repo is easier to get added to than the F-Droid ones from what I've seen. Only caveat is that users will have to add the repo to the F-Droid app to find your app. Edit: just read up further on their non-acceptable categories[1] and games are not usually added.
