I wouldn't hazard that. The average Joe is not going around installing random apps from third party sites until they are actively looking for it, like modded games or stuff and get a virus in the process. Many such reported apps have very low download counts on Play Store and in fact, just fly under Google's radar. Google tries to present Play store as a safe walled garden but often fails.
