How can you not rely on these platforms if you are building an app? You cannot expect anyone to go download .apk's manually. Users are too coddled to do anything different when downloading/installing the app. The real moral of the story is that we are just peasants on these platforms and can be washed away with a flick of a finger. In the end, become Zuck or get zucked.

Users are too coddled to do anything different when downloading/installing the app. Then maybe we should start educating users in the other direction. There wasn't this problem before app stores and walled gardens became common.
