Agreed. I also don't think this should be in developer settings; it's kinda insulting to imply that only developers need to have full control of their own devices.

Personally those two changes would mollify me somewhat, though the slippery slope concerns others have discussed in this thread remain. Additionally, I think there's a real anti competitive concern in that these changes negatively impact the market for non-Google-approved apps. (Perhaps the latter could be solved by allowing alternate app stores like F-Droid to completely bypass the verification requirement, allowing those stores' internal app verification processes to compete on equal footing with Google's.)
