On iOS, the security model has always been Apple signs the code, and no cryptographic protection from Apple modifying it.
On Android, the original security model was that the developer signs the code, preventing a distributor from modifying it (as long as the signature checks are sound).
Apple's system is worthy of complaining about, but you can only bring it up so often. Google taking Android backwards in this regard is worth making a fuss over; but Google is likely to just steamroll through.
