It absolutely has to do with keeping people safe. You not caring isn't relevant.

If Google cared just the slightest bit about keeping people safe, they would stop hosting scam ads as core part of their business model.

Google is on the side of the scammers.

Total nonsense. Google is a large company with different teams that have different goals.

Google is one large public company with exactly one goal: making money.

Stop shilling

Not shilling, your points are just bad. I could just as easily say "You are one person who makes money, therefor you are always bad". Silly.

Your argument is basically "If the Android team cared about user safety then Google would shut down as a business to support them". It's nonsense.

Google restricts sideloading "for your safety", while their app store is full of scam apps and F-Droid has zero malware. Don't you find this slightly illogical?

Not really. No one targets F-Droid. If they did, there would be malware. F-Droid barely audits packages at all.

Not really. Debian repositories also contain zero malware, and I don't think they audit evert package and every update.
