I see this as an absolute win.

No one thinks it’s hard. It is, however, as I said, extremely inconvenient and time-consuming to do this every day, and no one wants to do that.

Every day? Who needs to install an app every day?
Not saying this isn’t annoying AF, it is, but it’s not the absolute lockdown that we all feared.

My guy, have you ever heard of “updates”? How do you suppose they get installed?

So just take one day a month and do your maintance. Anything that isn’t from the Play store isn’t exactly getting Dev work every day to patch whatever.
Whatever, I don’t love this either, but it’s not some absolute deal breaker IMO. Maybe 6/10 dealbreaker. We disagree and thats fine. Now please downvote like you were going to do anyway.
