I guess the next step in piracy is to change the apk enough that it doesn’t get recognized correctly, if that’s possible? Though then everyone will have to worry about malware-ridden apps.
I think this is horrible, aside from piracy, because you may want or need to stay on an older version of an app. I have had to for devices at work that require a specific version or just an easy way to manage the device and ensure devices only got updates we approved through our MDM.
The app checks if the current user is licenced so you would have to crack the DRM to bypass it. It's not like the DRM is simply a filehash and all you have to do to avoid it is to change a byte or two.
