The point is trash apps don't have to be a problem as long as the platform is managed properly. Anyway your trash app is probably someone else's fun entertainment.

I just doubt that "managed" platforms are delivering what they have promised and think that the quality of apps on more open systems is generally better by a few magnitudes without exaggerating too much.

And no, the trash app I am talking about exists to prey on unaware users by being an obvious fake or by extracting information about location, contacts and configuration.

"Managed" platforms accelerated this phenomenon in my opinion.
