Why am I using an Android device then? Also how would this even work with open source apps that people build from source?

You build an app from source, I assume you'll get a prompt on your phone that says it can't run because it's not signed.

Another article did mention that it's only for devices with Play Protect enabled so if they keep that as easy as it is to disable right now, it'll be a non issue actually.
