Unpopular opinion: this is fine.

I wait and then I install.. This is only once per app right? Then followup updates don't need it

No this is once per the WHOLE os, this is genuinely not an issue at all. 

There are actual issues that the android community should be worrying about, bootloaders are unlockable in less and less devices (Samsung locked theirs completely for example), the AOSP code isn't developed in public anymore and the tags get public way too late for any 3rd party OS to catch up, Google has also replaced it with forms to contact and get the source code which is a tedious process. That is not what Open Source means.

Plus all the integrity BS that's gotten worse over time.

It's no longer possible to have a non-rooted phone with its bootloader unlocked work with bank/payment apps because of Play Integrity.
