Ain't google play assumes it always installed as system app and graphene os team had to build a sandbox around it?
How about all app stores (including Play Store and Samung own app store) not installed as system apps and show warnings equally when user install something new?
Still, the effects benefits the consumer, so I would consider this a good thing.

I don't get it. Why I need cloud to run Python scripts which can be done locally? Installing Python isn't hard and MS can bundle it as a library with Office either.
Instead of sandboxing I would much rather it drops all those permissions
