Since Google changed its policies several years ago over there I try not to download anything unless I really need it.

I hear ya. I don't download much from the playstore at all. I keep the phone updated and I have about three weather apps.

So should Google refund everyone the license fee and 30% payment fee they take?
The reason for it was to keep the play store safe and secure. It is also one of the biggest arguments for not allowing people to side load or use other store like F-Droid.

Yes, they should, imo! It makes you want to use the others even more.
