They won’t directly support it because in their view the Google Play process is a more secure way of verifying they supplied the binaries than is possible of f-droid. If reproducible builds were possible maybe there could be some mechanism to verify a given binary is built from a given commit of the source tree.

Doesn’t Google play store also modify and build the binary themselves to “generate and deliver APKs that are optimized for each device configuration, providing users with more efficient apps”?
