If you consider developer has the right to determine who runs their software, it is actually.

My last 10 apk installs:

- 9 apps not available in the local store - 1 app I changed some setting in the manifest

For less technical people it will also include some shady apk's for example promising free La Liga match broadcast but then scraping everything from phone.

I've found myself having to sideload more apps in Android lately, simply because they didn't update and were removed by Google from the Play Store. Great apps that worked for years and did what I needed them to do are now no longer good enough because the developer didn't choose to stay on a ridiculous treadmill.
