I presume the concern is governments banning apps left and right so a federated repository will be mostly immune from that. But you are right, technologically is not as straight forward.
What surprised me is that F-Droid is avoided by many FOSS enthusiasts (due to signing it themselves so delayed updates and potential tampering).
Aurora is great but 100% on Google’s merci and Google frequently cuts its winds.
Did not know Aptoide was community based… have to check it out.
