The changes give Google unreasonable control over all Android devices and brings everyone closer to the locked down Apple experience.
The current Play verifications and warnings for untrusted sources should be enough.

I think it's not even possible for me to get a bank right now that doesn't issue Visa cards for payments.
I think people need to realize how fucking pervasive payment processors are. In Canada we have an extremely fast and easy bank transfer system called interac. Our financial infrastructure is built on it.
