I agree that F-Droid is great!

What I usually do is to buy the pro version on Google Play and install it later on F-Droid.

On the other hand I don't see anything wrong for non tech people to install FOSS apps from the Play Store. The apps are still FOSS

Not exactly. When building for play store release - google injects their tracking into the binary.

I think this is a myth. Android Studio or something allows to build it in, but Google doesnt automatically do that. Afaik
