why can google not just code something like this into android:

allow apps from:
( ) All sources (how it is now; allow each app to install apps from external sources)
( ) Just Google Play
( ) Apps which have been verified by Google Developer Program

Option 1 is a potential cause of "lost" revenue.

Late stage capitalism absolutely forbids anything that could cause that, even if the cost of implementation outweighs any potential gain.

That would give users choice, and corporations want as many people as possible to be incapable of making decisions for themselves.
