They already just prevent you from doing things that they don't like.
Try installing an older app, it just gives the error that the app is too old.
That's ageist. We should sue them.
Technically, Android does that, too, but the limit on that is a few years. If I'm not mistaken, the lowest version of Android that Google will allow a user to install through the Play Store is Android 12 (released in September 2020).
That's for manually installing apps, I believe. But developers on Google Play have to follow this.
Yes, but 99% (give or take) of Android users won't know or care how to install 3rd party apps. So most people would only care about the Google Play Store limitation.
