The same opensource app, downloadable on both stores but paid on playstore and free on fdroid. Is it legal and is it ethical? Why?

Sure , indeed there are some foss app that are the same as you described

True, but I think typically the Playstore version isn't always from the official maintainers and I'd consider it less trustworthy, even if free (unless the devs link to the playstore page on github/gitlab/codeberg/whatever).

The examples I know are officially published by their orginial developers
