check earlier

Shouldnt google check earlier, like when the app is uploaded to the Play Store?

Just saying. If its malware then pull the app.
They do check the app.
The entire point of malware is that it is hidden, if malware was easy to find it wouldn't be the problem that it is.

Can you say Big Brother?

Google said most people will never see a warning or any other indication that this additional layer of protection exists [...]

What's really alarming is that they don't even ask permission to scan your apps NOR WILL THEY WARN YOU. The people who are downloading bad apps should just deal with the consequences like the adults they are. There are numerous resources to fix the problem should you download one.
So what if they scan the APK? None of my information is in the APK.
