This is a great point! Because of google services being blocked in China, the play store is unavailable so people download their apps ('A-P-Ps' if talking to someone in China) via 3rd party sites. Trying to become a substantial app distributor is a nice idea but also very difficult between Apple have a locked down platform and serious competition from antimalware companies and others who already have a solid foothold in this space, but I can certainly see the value in trying.
