F-Droid is too much of a liability. http://blog.checkpoint.com/2016/11/30/1-million-google-accou...

If anything, F-Droid is far more trustworthy than the Play Store, as F-Droid essentially is a single-source publisher. If F-Droid can't build the APK from source, it won't ship it. So it's guaranteed that you can look at the actual source code of any app you install via F-Droid.

The Play Store, on the other hand, is taking a risk.

What does the link have to do with F-Droid?
