Hot take: This is to stop the slop tsunami.
When any idiot can vibe code some slop app, things are going to get out of hand very fast.
When people program agentic AI to just scrape the app store for open source apps that copy them and slop them up, how do you stop it?
I'm not sure which future I hate more. Either way, things look grim.
But the play store is already completely filled with slop garbage, AI notwithstanding.
