Nobody reads the source code of those apps. Thats basically an audit, and it may happen sometimes, but it is not a requirement for F-Droid.
They do some general tests, but the "antifeatures" are either by the officially stated permissions or by opt-in in the F-Droid submission. Creators/packagers often state the reason for the antifeature in the README, which means they are the person placing the tag, or know the process.
Google Play has sometimes good, sometimes bad requirements too. Those APKs are signed by developers, but the final product also by Google afaik, its some mix.
You need to trust the devs anyways, thats the point.
