Verified developer (www.androidauthority.com)

How is this going to be enforced if you are just downloading apks? It states they will enforce verification across sources outside of the play store. This doesn't sound possible unless they just make stock android unable to side load

Tldr: if the device has google play services it will prevent u installing any app that doesn't have a developer who has handed their real identity over to google.

    Would it be possible to adb force remove them and then no longer have a "certified" device?

    Most Roms these days allow disabling the google play store, you don't even need root to do it. Since enforcement will likely use the same tech as Play Protect (but without consent settings) disabling Play Store, and possibly GMS too will kill it outright.

    They might implent changes in future Android versions to make this more difficult if not impossible though.
