>The last thing I want, or the bank wants, is some grandmother downloading the "Wells Fargo Bank Plus with Giant Legible Accessible Text" app she saw in an ad as an APK, installing it, and being a victim of silent fraud for years.

I don't think this happens nowadays. Android will either block by default or give you a million prompts and warnings before it allows you to install an apk from an unknown source. It's far, far easier to install it from google play. I don't think any grandmother would manage to accidentally ignore the first 3 pages of genuine links on google and then push the right buttons that enable sideloading.
