How screwed are retro handheld devices like Metroid and Odin devices with Googles dumb decision to blacklist good 3rd party developers? (lemmy.ca)

Do you think these devices will continue to function?

Will the handheld market need to degoogle and adopt Linux as the OS?

Would it be smart to even consider purchasing any of them right now with the chance of them not functioning as expected in the near future?

Retro handhelds should be perfectly good to use without Google play protect and Google play services. Retro handhelds play emulators. Should be good with something like Graphene and ideally go to regular Linux instead. Maybe with KDE Plasma Bigscreen
