If they were serious about malware, they would have to permanently ban all Meta apps (potentially even blacklist senior Meta executives so apps from other companies would also be banned if they hired the Meta hoodlums).
But again, Google is a large American technology company; i.e. a rat’s nest of crime, lies and degeneracy.
They just want to limit the amount of people who will actually bother to unlock sideloading. Combine it with their intention to force devs to pay fees to publish onto playmarket and you will get a good business model to gather even more money.

If they were to ban Meta apps, they’d probably be prosecuted for being anticompetitive.
Even with Apple’s (theoretically) tighter rules on app submissions, I don’t trust Facebook apps to adhere to system controls.
