    They’re already developing the apps for the 1% of us not just using proprietary apps from the play store. I don’t think this just kills open source app development.

      That’s not who we’re talking about. We’re talking about the 0.1% who have custom ROMs.

      It won’t kill it completely but it will severely hurt it. Apps like Syncthing have already discontinued development due to Google shenanigans + lack of users. That’ll only get worse as the userbase shrinks.
