This is actually a non-issue with tons of unnecessary fear mongering going around, see my comment here: https://github.com/enaix/apk-loader/issues/1

The OP addressed this: `adb` works ... *for now*. Other than google's pinky promise, what assurance do we have that adb will continue to work in a year or five?

The settings app lets you disable package verifiers for adb installs. The settings app is part of the operating system and can not be updated via the play store. This means that Google can not update the settings app.
