The same opensource app, downloadable on both stores but paid on playstore and free on fdroid. Is it legal and is it ethical? Why?

As long as you are the legal owner of the code, I don't see why you couldn't.

For example, DAVx⁵ (F-Droid, Google Play)

I'd see it as a tradeoff between the convenience of silent updates of Google Play and incentivizing people to go for F-Droid.
