>Recent Android versions made it ever easier to install apps without using the Play Store

Yes I'm using it myself but how is that making Google Play less of a monopoly? F-droid can't sell apps on the play store without using Google.

"I can't sell my organic bananas at Walmart without dealing with Walmart"?

I can understand ideas that there shouldn't be a "default store" on devices. Or that Android's certification (whatever that is called) shouldn't require pre-installing the play store as only option. I may or may not agree with them.

But "I should be able to sell my wares at a store without dealing with its owner/operator" sounds strange to me.
