This must be because of Epic's win in antitrust court.

What someone needs to do is create a "Store" browser that loads apps from random websites like https://site.tld/app.apk

You could manually parse AndroidManifest.xml and allow only apps that expose <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

I'm somewhat interested in doing this myself actually. What do people think?

How does this differ from Obtainium?

I wasn't aware of obtainium. Thank you. I was thinking of something more like Google Chrome mobile edition but for APKs. So more focus around the search interface.
