To be honest, it seems like a really bad idea to give third-party app installers root access to your phone though...

You do it with Epic Game Store or Steam on Windows... why would it be any different here?

[nodamage]

As far as I am aware Steam does not need administrator privileges to install third-party games. I am not sure about Epic Game Store.

Shouldn’t that be possible on Android too then?

If Google would permit it, it would.

It's a bad idea to run software you don't trust, with or without root.
