I think it's primarily due to misinformation; no one has told them about Mostro, and I suppose that's the case for most people.

And they're not interested in having to download Mostro through open-source apps like Zapstore. Ultimately, most people only use or download apps from the Google Play Store because that's what the system teaches them, and if it doesn't come from there, they don't use or download anything.

I think your intuition here is pretty good: if it doesn't come from Google Play Store a lot of people aren't even going to investigate it.

When you buy a phone, it comes pre-configured and practically forces you to download Gmail as your first action...

And when you download a different app, the phone tells you or displays a warning ⚠️ asking if you're sure you want to proceed with the download...

In short, the system is indoctrinating the masses.

It makes no sense today for bitcoin app with p2p to stay on playstore/Ios big tech will kill you for legal problems, not worth spending time with them.
Mostro can be downloaded from:

  • github
  • zapstore
  • obtainium

If people want kyc just tell them how to do it.
