If I should, are there ways I could install such apps with a spoofed Device ID or something like that?

Yes. Anything with “ID” in the name should give you pause, especially when its designated to you by the largest surveillance company on the planet.

You can simply delete it.

Settings --> Privacy --> Ads --> Delete advertising ID.

why do you assume that advertising ID=Device ID

I would assume they are collecting IMEI when they say device
