I’m going to make the assumption that unsigned software is malicious and I think you know that and are making a really weird assumption to argue against it

That's basically what Google has done here, but it's also a big change to something that's always differentiated Android from iPhone. And I know iPhone gets away with it (for now), but basically forcing you onto the Google Play Store for a 30% cut is IMO philosophically wrong. I don't see any reason

why the current status quo is bad. There's multiple layers of protection before you can allow yourself to install unsigned software on the device. It's even now where it's not a universal toggle off, but you have to do it for each app.
