So google now requires Id verification for submitting apps to android, what does it mean for Foss apps, for Foss stores like fdroid and for future development?

I see it primarily being a boon for the Android forks. Also it hasn’t happened yet and may not, this is clear malicious compliance with antitrust rulings, and you can’t just bribe the EU by buying Trumpcoin.

not everybody can install custom roms, either for compatibility, app selfblocking, or tech literacy reasons, or that they can’t afford to tuse a possibly unstable system (stability often varies by device and update)
