At best it gets rid of some scams, certainly not most of them or poorly written apps, which continue to flood the Google PlayStore.
Despite Google's best efforts to automatically ban malicious developers, catching many legitimate developers in the crossfire, their store isn't exactly a bastion of quality or scam-free.

I honestly doubt their "best efforts".
Fact of life is they make money off apps including malicious ones. For the same reason a lot of promoted content on Google search is clickbait and they even serve malicious apps. Money corrupts.
Removing freedom, and control will never get rid of scammers. Nor will it get rid of the plethora of poorly written corporate owned apps that will still be allowed to fester. It won't even get rid of the apps that scammers use to scam.
and installing AI-monitored CCTV that calls the cops when it thinks you're up to no good in every room of every dwelling would reduce the number of murders and rapes by at least half.
I'm sure you will not object when that happens. you are not a murderer or rapist, are you?
I wouldn't, as long as humans aren't viewing it, think of the murders/abuse prevented, it could even monitor your behaviour and be like a pre-cog so if it thinks you sound weird or creepy it sends a robot round to question/arrest you.
