  1. Not outdated

  2. That's the standard method

  3. What features?

  4. AFAIK it dods

  5. Just don't install the old apps then.

  6. That's literally why it was made. To distribute FOSS apps.

Here is a more detailed explanation: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

Accrescent is a new appstore that fixes all these issues but its still in alpha stage and has 11 apps right now.

I replaced fdroid with Obtainium that pulls apks from github,gitlab,fdroid,etc and it has support for auto updates. It's a little better than Fdroid but still has its own issues.
