I think it's not really in the spirit of openness/freedom to say "you can replace Google's software, but ONLY with ours"

You could allow this in config though. I.e.

() No app spoofing () Microg apps can spoof Google apps () Any apps can spoof any apps

They could still make it default and then allow an option in settings to allow other apps.

This would be similar to how root apps originally allowed anything to use root capabilities (with user permission), and then they made the default "Apps-only".
