The F-Droid app was created in 2009 in the early days of Android and lots of its code is still that old. While the ecosystem has seen many drastic shifts, the F-Droid community heroically kept the app alive with band aids and chewing gum.

It's good alongside F-Droid, doesn't really work as a complete replacement.

It pretty much does, at least for all the apps I want to use I have no need to use fdroid. If not, maintainers should probably publish apks and have reproducible builds
