Why ask Goggle's permission?

I've started using the Zapstore app store being built by the Nostr community. Zapstore is an app built around empowering developers to release and sign apps over the Nostr protocol without having to get permission from any app store or any other entity such as a tyrannical government

F-Droid could release apps over the Nostr protocol, and bypass Google completely
