Yalp uses a Google account, which isn't good.
I use https://apkpure.com

No idea what Yalp is doing with your email here: https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore/blob/23503d639034d68b8...
I find Android code really hard to read - there's so many levels of indirection here I can't find where it's actually calling whatever.google.com to grab the APK

This particular code looks fairly straightforward (could definitely be clearer). It's building a url and including the email as a path segment. What the remote service (http://tokendispenser-yeriomin.rhcloud.com/) is doing with that email is harder to determine.

That part is open source too: https://github.com/yeriomin/token-dispenser
That said, if you're sketched out by it, don't use it on a Google account with any data on it. Just make a new empty account for apk downloading.

"Stores email-password pairs, gives out Google Play Store tokens"
I couldn't tell if it was encrypting the password but even if it was... yuck!

Basically the author created web interface to similar APK downloader. At least Docker is completely unrelated.
Another possibility is to use the Java software Raccoon on your Desktop, available here: http://raccoon.onyxbits.de/
