I think you have reading and comprehension problems....
Might want to read AND UNDERSTAND the "article". This isn't a flaw, it's by design, and due to external pressure from companies that were using(abusing) the functionality in the past and then threw their toys out the pram when told not to overlay ontop of other apps. As a grade period, they were told to sort their crap out, and granted a stay of execution as long as they were publishing on the play store. Apps in the wild were outlawed from overdrawing on the UI period.
Seems Google did something reasonable here, as there is no proof that any apps on the Google Play store are abusing their power, and Checkpoint are (yet again) making themselves look like they are the security gutter-press, desperate to publish anything, regardless of how lame, and how damaging it is to their reputation. (I would never trust checkpoint, purely based on nonsense like this, they clearly can't differentiate between REAL threats and FAKE News)
