These days there are so many apps infested with spyware or adware, and it almost seems as if the stores themselves are promoting them in exchange for a cut. And some apps that start off clean get "updated" to include ads and spying. How do you find free apps that aren't infested?

Why is mobile software so different?
Because the majority of the masses are clueless enough to pay for a ringtone/ringtune or put up with ads, upsells and BS in a "free" app, etc. etc.
I think most people these days must be somehow subconsciously addicted to wasting money.
It's very sad.
