> When they change that optional setting they introduced recently
What setting was introduced recently? I remember such settings all the way back to the Nexus One.
In fact, things were more closed back then as Android phones bought from AT&T had it hard coded to disable third party apps. I'm not aware of a US carrier doing that any more.
> On your Android phone, only app installations from verified stores, like the Google Play Store and your device manufacturer’s app store, are allowed.
To be fair, from a security standpoint if you want *the highest security* allowing third party installers is one of the first things I would disable as well.
