Yes and the app gets uninstalled and review bombed on google's play store. Seems like a successful democratic process to me.

That's a bit of a stretch. On play store permission bombing is so prevalent and no one is installing any apps with less than 4 stars so I doubt the "malware" makes enough money to sustain this.
