Stretching the definition of an antique "meme", but here's an image from 2016 about a message board gag in 2006. (startrek.website)

Here's an unsigned APK that's just our website in a container plus all of the tracking and data mining we could shove in there. Why dont you go ahead and oauth us to all of your social media accounts too? Don't worry, we only need post permissions so that we can bring you these sweet customized bargains.

Modern mobile OS' and apps are quite strictly sandboxed so, with reasonable vetting like Google Play Store and Apple Store, you can reasonably safely install random crap and uninstall it later. It's a different realm from running random binary executables.

Seemingly innocuous Play store apps get found to be viruses all the time, most recent in my memory being a few barcode scanner apps, farthest back in my memory being flashlight apps back before android did it natively, but there's been more over the years. Trusting apps "because play store" is horrible practice.
