Well yeah it warns me that applications from other sources can be harmful and points me to the settings that allows me to run it.

Which is fair and reasonable. I wouldn't want my non tech savy parents to run apps by misclicking links. But I do want the freedom to run whatever I feel like on the devices I paid for.

I can't imagine being told what I can and cannot run on my $1400 android device. I'm an adult, thanks for treating me like one.
