It could just ask before removing shit. Remove the permissions, freeze the app, prompt the user to confirm they meant to install it from somewhere other than the playstore. Hell, since it can detect F-Droid is installed, maybe use some context clues and ask the user to confirm this app was installed from there?
More importantly, can you tell it to ignore certain apps? I don't know, I've had Play Protect turned off forever. If not, that's absolutely asshole design.
Yes, but it stops ignoring them after a while
and you come back to your phone and its uninstalled again, scummy! uninstalling also REMOVES the user's data they stored in the app. turn off Play Protect!
