This seems more like “allowing a third party frontend for the Google curated app pool the Play store uses” currently, rather than a “pay us and we’ll allow you to install non-Google-signed apps”
If the point is to be able to use non Google apps, this isn’t a solution.
I took it as the reoccuring 5k was to allow installation of the play store apps, and that the upfront cost was the cost required to have it not give the scare alert and forced 24h period.
Regardless if what it is, I would still count even a one time 5k cost to be pretty inhibitive for someone wanting to run a third party store
