If this can happen, is it possible that once mandatory developer verification comes into effect, all 3rd party apps will be uninstalled at first and require a re-install?

Concerning this specific case, NFCGate is a tool on which malware (family) titled NGate by ESET is based, thus likely causing a false positive.

Oh, and no bypass is available anymore (aside from disabling play protect):

I'd be interested to know what anti-malware tools one can use on an Android other than Play Protect.
