This is a mere sample of the [SELinux exceptions](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/sepolicy/+/refs/tags/android-12.0.0_r21/private) that have to be made on older API levels so that you can understand why it matters.
It turns out the official F-Droid client doesn't care much about this since it lags behind quite a bit, **[targeting the API level 25](https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/blob/2a8b16683a2dbee16d624a58e7dd3ea1da772fbd/app/build.gradle#L33)** (Android 7.1) of which some SELinux exceptions were shown above. As a workaround, some users recommended third-party clients such as [Foxy Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/nya.kitsunyan.foxydroid/) or [Aurora Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.adroid/).

[Droid-ify](https://github.com/Iamlooker/Droid-ify) seems to be a better option that the official client in most aspects.

Furthermore, F-Droid **doesn't enforce a minimum target SDK** for the official repository. Play Store [does that quite aggressively](https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk) for new apps and app updates:
