Computers have had warnings about installing software since the beginning of computers
I think “Computers” go back way farther than you’re imagining. There was a time when you didn’t even install software on computers. You just put in a disk and ran what was on it. We don’t even need to go back to when “Computer” was an actual job title. Something that humans (mostly women) did.

…huh? Why would there be an app store inside an app store?
No I was just speaking simply. You know what I meant.

To make it easy to access other app stores of course. You can use one web browser to download another can’t you.
Maybe too simply, because I really don’t. Windows didn’t give any warnings about installing any programs until Windows 10 I think. And even it’s only the truly esoteric and unknown.
