I'm confused by the whole #Google Developer Verification thing...

Users won't be able to install #Android apps without their developers registering with Google?

How will this affect users of Android forks (like #LineageOS, #GrapheneOS, etc.)? I'm assuming it won't, since Google can't put anything in the #AOSP that others can't just remove in their own builds.

So presumably it only affects users of Google-ified Android?

@normplum It's okay, don't worry, only about 3.9 billion users are affected.

And it's not like they needed to use apps that don't invade their privacy, apps that don't sell their data, apps that don't track them, apps you can inspect their source-code, apps with developers that answer bug reports, apps you can localize to your native language, apps that connect to your own hosted services and all that.
