[android-developers] Market expanding to technically non-compliant devices?

Looking at the Developer's console, I note (correctly) that my
application needs permissions for touch-screen operation.

I don't think it used to do that, but maybe I just didn't notice.

Furthermore, touchscreen is a standard part of the google android
hardware specification, and it is hard to see how it could be a
security issue.

Perhaps the market is being expanded to allow devices without
touchscreen (and hence not android hardware compatible) to
applications that they can run, in much the same manner as the market
will filter out apps that need high res if you are on a low res
phone ?

Why else might they filter on touchscreen?
