How spotify got into fdroid?
F-Droid is for app delivery in general. Only apps from the official f-droid repository are guaranteed FOSS. Third party repos can provide any app they'd like, even proprietary ones. The (unofficial Firefox)[https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox] repo for example provides Spotify even though it is not FOSS. If you just have it for Firefox, a FOSS fork is also available in the official F-Droid repo, but under the name "Fennec".

Custom F-Droid Repository with Apps from Play Store
I recently stumbled upon this project https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox. It's very handy. It automatically downloads APKs from Github or release pages and publishes an F-Droid repository on Gitlab Pages.

Is there any point in using Aurora store over Google play?
I don't know about Aurora, but there is this gitlab repo which clones spotify app, among others, for use in fdroid

Why wouldn't Signal be listed in f-droid? Is there a more reliable SMS (FOSS) program?
It is on f-droid but you need to add a repository: https://gitlab.com/rfc2822/fdroid-firefox#firefox-f-droid-repo-unofficial . alternatively install the apk from signal: https://signal.org/android/apk/ as it self-updates

couple of questions on Fdroid, Aurora, and stock apps.
F-droid is very safe, just make sure to use trusted repositories because apps have to be accepted before they even get to F-droid that way. They have a list of trusted repositories found on GitLab.

Privacy on Android without resetting phone (Custom OS or root) [Update v3]
here is a list of most known Repositories
-
Improve Privacy without resetting your phone (No Root or Custom ROM)
I personally use Fennec FDroid. Its Firefox Nightly with removed telemetry, as far as I understood. - In this post you can find an explanation on how to get important desktop addons (NoScript, Ninja Cookie, CanvasBlocker, ...) to your android Firefox browser with a little hack. - You can also harden mobile Firefox through the about:config. There will come a dedicated post to the available options, but Mozillas Site already provides a good list of settings (not all are there on mobile). - I highly recommend privacy.firstparty.isolate = true, as its the exchange for container addons (isolates every site making them obsolete)
- List of F-Droid repositories is now on the Wiki!
