Google collecting and creating a Honeypot of developers' personally identifiable information does indeed seem a 'bad thing'. KYC compliance requirements are a solution worse than the problem. One that also locks anyone without a physical address and state issued ID out of the software development field.

The good news is this will likely inspire more options to be developed that remove them from their privileged position in the ecosystem. My de-googling of phones, more development of Graphene OS, and more PWA options becoming available WILL be a 'good thing'.
