May have security risks due to multiple individuals fetching apps using the same google account.

Requires a user account to use, but fetches apps and updates using their own google accounts to obfuscate users.If the play store (or any of the other google apps) have network access does that mean other apps with consent coded in could send data out via the play store app?.What permissions other than battery optimization do those google apps need to enable updates and push notifications for things like proton mail? Do these permissions allow google to get identifying information about the device like phone number, IMEI, or track the device based on cellular tower proximity?.I believe Google Play Store needs network permissions for all this to work properly but is that the only permission needed for the three google play apps?.Apps downloaded via google may be able to communicate and share data with each other if the developers added mutual consent access (which could potentially mean app A with no permissions can communicate with app B with network permissions, which can send app A's mined data out of the device if in the same profile).Google will be able to log/associate the apps downloaded with the account used but not necessarily see what the apps do.Requires Google Services Framework and Google Play Services apps to be downloaded.Standard way to install/update apps and the most secure of the available app stores (even though there are plenty of apps with malicious aspects and sometimes just straight malware on there).TLDR: Trying to figure out which app repositories to use for my main user account and gather information on the possibilities.

So here is my understanding and questions for each of the named options: I plan on having a banking profile and a ride share profile that DO have the three sandboxed google apps, but my main profile will have basic things like signal, proton apps, authenticator, vpn, navigation (magic earth), and weather to name a few.

For reference I am trying to determine how to set up my main user profile and my threat model is simply not wanting big tech or data miners to track and collect info about me as much as possible. I am setting up my new install and am curious if you fine folks could answer some questions and confirm or correct my current understanding of app repositories and the nuances associated with them. Hello everyone! I know questions like this come up a lot but from my searching I have not been able to get a clear picture.
