It doesn't get them via the play store, you can see the app permissions here (see "About this app ->", then under "Permissions" click "view details":

I never said that it got them via the play store. If an application has that permission in the manifest it should get rejected by Google if they don’t conform to their use cases.

They’re free to publish the APK themselves if they want tho

You literally asked "How did they even get the android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES permission approved on the play store?"

And I gave you a straightforward answer. I wasn't arguing with you, I was answering the question you posed.
