🤔

disable the validator

Aka: Custom ROMs, or at the very least, root access (which requires bootloader unlocking)

signing certificates are free

Yes, but unless you've done the aforementioned, stock roms with locked bootloaders still require Google to approve your signing keys, which requires you upload your government issued ID (and $25 payment).

Nah, only "certified Android devices", ie, those certified for and that ship with Play Protect, will block apps unsigned by a verified developer, and Play Protect can be disabled. Standard.

which requires you upload your government issued ID (and $25 payment)

Nope on cost: free for personal use.

Moreover, installs over Android Debug Bridge bypass verification entirely.

Will Android Debug Bridge (ADB) install work without registration? As a developer, you are free to install apps without verification with ADB.

If I want to modify or hack some apk and install it on my own device, do I have to verify? Apps installed using ADB won't require verification.

Enabling developer mode for that isn't a big deal.

This all seems like a huge nothingburger by people who don't read.
