Would this mean we can't have F-droid and the like?
From what I currently understand, they will need to be approved by Google, so F-Droid and many of the popular apps will likely still be available, but the overall selection will be limited. This will apply to devices with Google Play Services. If you are using a custom rom without Google Play Services, then this change will not affect you.
Man, the enshittification of late is just really exhausting.
Not sure what this means for the 3rd party branches of android
