You get warnings when you install apps from Microsoft Store?

Play Store isn't a web browser.

That's my point. The apples to apples comparisons are Microsoft Store vs Play Store vs App Store... or Chrome vs Edge vs Safari. NOT Play Store vs Edge and Safari.

Play Store is NOT a web browser. It downloads from one place and one place only.
