I'd specifically like to know how they squared "we require 2FA, because security" with "please disable the one thing keeping unbelievably, unreasonably powerful native apps from hosing you"

Web starts paranoid while native starts *dangerous*. The legitimate role of app stores is to be glorified AV across a corpus of defacto problematic software. Native + side-loading *is like turning off the security systems for the velocioraptor cages*
