OK. Anonymous publishing of APKs is gone. No sideloading, no Obtainium, unless KYCed. This will fix nothing (there are many people who will gladly KYC for a bottle of vodka), but introduce control into Android, that was pretty open so far.

The minority of GrapheneOS and similar will be still free.

We need to move to PWAs.
