If Google follows thru on allowing installs after a single 24hr waiting period, I'm afraid we'll never be taken seriously again as this will be seen as a major overreaction. Then Google will take advantage of that to really tighten the screws.
"Hey bro can you get my phone to stop displaying an ad every 3 to 5 seconds.. It's driving me crazy.. also can you check if I'm hacked.. my phone be making notification sounds?"
well, I can't tell them to come back after 24h so i can finish the job, that would be weird.. they'll probably think idk what I'm doing and probably never come back..
this process is just stupid, even for troubleshooting purposes
