I respect the sentiment, but most users neither know nor care about that. They want to take their new device out of it's box, power it on, log in to whatever accounts they have, and carry on with their day.

The number of people who actually care about that is very small.

It doesn't matter if they care about this. They are too dumb to do anything about it anyway. They still can get to take advantage of this. Most notable would be that stuff like "bank apps only through play/apple store" would be much harder to pull of.
