What about something like F-Droid? F-Droid users can even add new repos to source apps from if you don't want to submit it to wherever F-Droid sources from by default.
That said, the culture around smartphones unfortunately was poisoned from the beginning so that normal users are suspicious of anything that doesn't come from the "official" corporate app stores, unlike PCs where they'll download just about anything on the internet, so I do sympathize with swearing off app development.
F-Droid came to be in late 2010 and I built the app in early 2012. As such, I didn't really hear about F-Droid at the time and I assume the user base would have been very small (but still better than nothing).
