Well - it's not very hard to register as developer and the one-time
registration fee is just 25 USD:

As soon as you have a developer account you can create "verified" apps
for your own. In the past when "feature phones" were still a thing,
getting a certificate was *much* *more* expensive and you needed to have
every soingle app build signed which was around 400 USD for every release.

At the moment attackers can you just build their own malware APKs for
Android free and and lure people into downloading them. That's one of
the reasons why Android is often considered very insecure.

If you don't like this - create or use your own Android-Custom-ROM which
does not include this check.
