Blanket scary warnings for all apps that don't use their app store can and will be used to dissuade their tech illiterate user base from ever daring to try something outside the garden.

Using "security guidelines" to scare people away from using anything outside an ecosystem is more abusable than people are willing to talk about, and it happens a lot nowadays.
