The link says, “The requirement goes into effect in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. At this point, any app installed on a certified device in these regions must be registered by a verified developer.”

And then by 2027 they want it globally

If they block, the only alternative is Graphene.

Not really, lineageos based stuff is compatible with way more phones and microg wont have this either. So people can also look at /e/ for example or many other degoogled options.
