Well it wouldn't be news if it wasn't newsworthy :p

Not sure if this fits your definition of OS, proper, or install, but FWIW you can already download an apk directly from github using most Android browsers and it will open (or give you the option to open) it with the system's package installer.
Yes I agree with everything you said.
Thank you for your perspective. Yes I think people can find both extremes and everything inbetween depending on where they look, but I don't think that necessarily represents a majority of the population. I do think more can probably be done to reduce waiting times for people on either side though.
Yes I agree with your points.
Yes I think both situations are often not ideal. At least in US you have the option, if you have the money, to be able to go to an "out of network" facility that can see you much sooner and probably get a much better standard of care.
Probably doesn't outweigh the cons for everyone else though.
not from VPN provider and legit websites
