I’ve been thinking about what kind of behavior the /e/ app installer encourages. When opening /e/ “Apps”, the user is greeted with a list of mostly proprietary applications with attractive images, but full of trackers. /e/ is essentialy promoting these apps and, in doing so, leads its users (especially the novices) down the wrong path. A privacy-focused system encouraging users to give up their privacy.
Instead of that, the front page could contain entirely privacy-respecting free software, à la F-Droid. Users could still install whatever they wanted, but they would have to look for the junk, not have it pushed on them.
What say you?
