Instead of forcing developers to make more reliable applications, Google will leak this status (privacy invasive IMHO) and developers will use it to block features.
No, that sounds accurate. Basically “Advanced protection” puts security in Google’s hands, and therefore is irrelevant to people worried about Google being the security risk…
Advanced protection
blocks side loading
disables installing apps from outside the Google Play Store
— so to me, running a degoogled Android device it is not just useless but actively harmful to the security of future apps that may become overreliant on this monopolist framework.

Am I wrong somewhere?
