The title is misleading, Google changed Google Play content policy, not Android. There are other stores out there that do not need to follow this policy and yet can exist in Android.

EDIT: s/wrong/misleading

The only other app store that has any traction on android is the Amazon App Store. Amazon has much more strict policies about what gets into the store and what doesn't.

All of the other app stores don't really have all that many users and if you use them then you probably know how to avoid shady apps.

While that is true, it still doesn't refute the parent argument.
