I think we only know about F-Droid because it's the only high quality one.

Low quality software tends to be popular among the general public because they're very bad at evaluating software quality.

Wait really? What other ones are there!? Somebody's already pointed out Samsumg Galaxy store, but I don't think I know of others?

Edit: searching online found this if anyone else is interested https://www.androidauthority.com/best-app-stores-936652/

    There are at least six Android app stores in China that have more than 100 million MAUs each: Huawei AppGallery, Tencent MyApp, Xiaomi Mi Store (or GetApps), Oppo, Vivo, and Honor stores.

      Huawei and Honor are seperate app stores?

      And Oppo and Vivo too?

      In both instances one company owns the other - why have competing app stores?

        Because some dumbass decided to ban Huawei before, forcing Chinese brands to split itself to multiple sub brandings that operate independently.

    Amazon has a big one too. I also know of a popular one called Aptoide.

          I could've sworn they'd already closed it for non-Fire devices.
