There are two things here, how zapstore is build, and what all this WoT stuff does. Now i have not looked into zapstore that much, but i think at this stage he is gatekeeping things and want to open things up eventually, we can all think of that what we will. But your original complaint was irt to the WoT stuff, and there i think your reasoning is weird. The point is to give you context such that you can trust that you have the correct signer. I.e. that if an app release is signed by either you or the damus profile, it is actually you or the damus profile. Obviously if i see a version of damus signed by peepeeMCpoopoo, it does not matter who follows peepeeMCpoopoo, because it makes no sense to download his version to begin with. That this system is not flawless is true by defintion, regardless of what improvements are made, the only alternative that would cover that flaws is a trusted gatekeeper (the play and appstore model), which has drawbacks of their own. Anyway, don't conflate things
