They don’t care a hoot about security. One look at Play Store which is filled with at best, low quality ad infested knockoffs to outright malware.
In fact, I would argue that Play Store is worse because they actively try to influence user’s intent by showing sponsored apps first.
In my country, Google has actively promoted apps of companies that were basically educational pyramid schemes and later fell. Even now, sponsored listings in Play Store for stuff like Learn Ethical Hacking filled with same fake reviews is promoted at top and Google has no problem with that.

It’s not your security. It’s Google’s security. They can control what apps you’re allowed to use to protect their interests.
Exactly.
If most people don’t root or sideload, where are they getting malware from?
Oh, yea, Play store.
Let Google know what you think about this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfN3UQeNspQsZCO2ITkdzMxv81rJDEGGjO-UIDDY28Rz_GEVA/viewform
