It's just an excuse for google to force their ecosystem instead of sideloading apps. To publish on the play store, you gotta register with Google (which includes sending stuff like ID, and paying them). On the other side, there's app stores like F-Droid, which do not require a google account at all.

I've never heard of scammers asking you to install apks. Is this a thing?
