Aka: Custom ROMs, or at the very least, root access (which requires bootloader unlocking)
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.
Nope on cost: free for personal use.
Moreover, installs over Android Debug Bridge bypass verification entirely.
Enabling developer mode for that isn't a big deal.
This all seems like a huge nothingburger by people who don't read.
