Users, right now, are quite happy trusting Apple (paragon of privacy and security) and F-Droid (the main opensource store) with signing their apps for them, so there doesn't seem much reason for Google to waste extra effort not following them.

What's the business reason for Google to not follow Apple in this respect?

Trust is matter based on reputation, and that is why users generally trust F-Droid. Can we trust Google, based on their reputation?
