  "textContent": "Mainly I think we can’t expect the average user to use more than two app stores - and two is already pushing it. The options here are play store and fdroid when it comes down to it. It doesn’t matter if there’s technically better options because people will use what other people are using, both end users and devs. It’s like how most people don’t choose the technically best social media platform or messaging app.\n\nFdroid and google play also both fill their niches very well. I think the vast majority of people who use them are fully satisfied with them.\n\nI’m speaking as someone with accrescent on my phone who likes and uses it. I use a mix of open and close source applications and I want security without tracking, so I would love for it to get more popular, but I don’t know where they’re supposed to get the momentum to do that. Maybe if grapheneOS continues to get more widely used they’ll eventually have enough clout to generate it themselves, but for now they don’t.",
