Is there any other reason to force sideloading except that China hates Google?

Is there any other reason to force sideloading except that China hates Google?
- capableweb 4y ago- No need to deal with Google or the Play Store and everything that comes with, having to do reviews and all that - Faster deployments to actual devices. AFAIK, you could even implement self-updating if you're feeling brave - No sharing of data to Google and/or Play Store. - Basically everything that the Play Store is now allowed, as you set your own rules (besides local regulation). Basically, lots of goodies for developers and companies who want to skirt whatever safety Google has setup, with minor benefit to the users themselves.
- blacksmith_tb 4y agoPresumably, no benefits to users (other than being able to use app itself, that is). But I believe even sideloaded apps are scanned daily by Play Protect[1] which should spot if DJI started doing something sneaky? 1: https://developers.google.com/android/play-protect/client-protections https://developers.google.com/android/play-protect/client-pr...
