It still matters even with one app per sandbox. Breaking the IPC security breaks down stuff like the Chromium / WebView sandbox.
Downloading a free app or one you already paid for & running it somewhere Google doesn't approve of is NOT "pirating".

Not talking about the app but rather Play Services code and binaries like snet where it's against the terms of the license to do that.
-
And just because it's free doesn't mean there aren't licensing terms. It's no different than breaking the terms of the GPL, etc.
-
GPL does not govern (and can't govern) what you can do privately with sw you legally obtained. Only copying/conveying it & deriv works.

It chooses not to. It certainly could but it has the opposite kind of goals.
-
The FSF's (original, at least) legal position is (was) that it fundamentally can't - that trying to dictate that is unlawful.
-
Whether that agrees with modern legal interpretations is a topic I don't want to get dragged into. But it was their position.
