    If they’re root, they already can. Like Google Play and other root/system apps that can install apps without the pop-up.

    It is an obvious double measure but it’s been around for a long time, and it’s not too insecure or annoying unless manufacturers install malware as system apps and/or disallow locking the boatloader (they do, sadly).

      That’s what I meant - if Google’s own stuff is allowed to run in the background then third-party stuff should be allowed too.

        I would not like everything to run as root. But an option to root your phone without too much hassle and make any changes to app permissions would be great.
