In the end the end user need to be cautious be it Windows, Android or mac/iOS.

It is a subscription on the SIM carrier end most people are unaware of. It is something called premium services "search for it yourself".

You are giving so much privileges without reading to an app which might not be secure, all for a different look.

I have always downloaded apps from third-party sites but I am careful with them and when it is risky I use my old phone for tests. In fact, some third-party sources are safer than gplay.
This is nothing new or important. Although I never ever heard about someone joining a premium service without them knowing. And imagine if it happened with a big company like YouTube, and the premium is applied to your accout, wouldn't that mean google itself did this to force you to join lol? But that is just a fun thought.

Android is a bit suspicious when it comes to security and privacy. In the past I've been subscribed to unwanted carrier services a few times, without the phone having any sideloaded apps ever installed. And then sometimes there is excessive battery drain for no reason at all. Thinking about switching to ios. Android is advanced as an OS but security is not upto point

Now if only majority of the android users aren't as dumb as the people who think a headphone jack blocks them from using a tws earphone.

Are we at a point in society where we should consider owners of iPhones unqualified for anything as you clearly don't seem to have the capability to make sound decisions about what apps you install from where.
People who knowingly install stolen software and the likes, where malware like this in injected from understand the risk. If they don't understand the risk, they learn. It is a terrible argument to force a 30% tax on anything you buy.
