He had a sound reason why that’s not the case, and that’s to keep control over what people do to it. Namely they want to prevent redistribution with added trackers/ads/malware.

Has that ever prevented people from reverse-engineering an app?

no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I’m pretty sure they won’t care about this license.

I think that in this case it’s just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.

No, but it gives them the legal avenue to go after malicious clones.
