I mean, I get those warnings though, you are installing a binary that was not reviewed, and of all of the other major OSs, this is essentially impossible on iOS, you get a very similar warning on Windows, and you need to use sudo on Linux, and I've never used Mac in any significant capacity, so I don't think that's a good argument.

The auto update thing could be a reasonable argument though.

And yeah, I know that realistically nothing will change, but I'm still surprised that Google lawyers couldn't demonstrate to a jury that they're not preventing other companies from using their stores in Android and that the security measures are acceptable and an industry standard.

All the best lawyers in the world can't get a jury full of idiots to stop being stupid.

The lawyers pick the jury...

They don't just have an unlimited ability to exclude jurors. Epic also had an interest in making sure people with brains didn't get seated.

And Google had the opposite interest. Are you suggesting that Google's lawyers are incompetent at selecting a jury?

I'm suggesting that it would have been a pretty difficult task to get a jury with enough technical knowledge.
