The Play store is such an unimaginable cesspit of crap that I've now stopped using it entirely except for official company apps, and then it will still suggest me malware clones every time.
Like I wanted a battery display for my AirPods and the choice was stuffed with ads, battery draining IAP from the Play store or a simple, free OSS one from F-Droid:

Of course, go figure, this app had to itself be modified to prevent scam artists from loading it up with advertisements and malware and putting it onto Play, where license violations are widespread and go entirely undetected.
