Many scams are committed thru apps like AnyDesk, TeamViewer, RustDesk... That are apps already in the store. That is a very cheap, easy, proven way of doing it.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt is a propaganda technique that tech companies have used for long against open source and competitors. The propaganda is to pretend that a 24 hour cooldown and making it difficult to install externals apps is for the good of the user meanwhile stealing their data and giving it to anybody that pays for it.

People are getting hurt. Mass spying should stop now.
