Does anyone know what the purpose of signing an android apk file is for?

I mean
it asks you to have passwords
and then those passwords are never asked again (or at least I have never ran into a situation where I have to type in that password again, other than the signing process itself).
And is there a situation where after a certain date, you want your app to stop working?
To me there's no difference between me signing my own android apk file or if I give the unsigned apk file and get Joe Blow to sign it for me.
So what is its use?

It's your watermark persa.
But other than that how to see that information..like if i enter bedroom and room and victoria bc CA...where is that information viewable?
I've never dug that deep into the android sdk. It's a signing protocol just like on ios.
There is always google. http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html
Thanks.
Ah to prevent people from changing your apps for malicious purposes... makes sense now
