grapheneos will be effected by this too because a lot of android developers targetting accrescient, obtainium, or f-droid are going to give up entirely, or capitulate onto the play store

That's a good point you make. I'm gonna contact the authorities that go about this for my region.

Exactly, that is the one thing I hardly ever see mentioned in such threads and legitimately the one I worry about the most. There will always be a way to install apps other than the playstore, but the harder it will be, the less people will bother and the more developers will be forced to go via the appstore anyway.
