This is exactly like banning SSL for all applications where the owner of the user's app isn't identified.
The French tried to impose this in the 1990s, but once SSL was everywhere, it was impossible ...
I agree that Google will probably try it again including others.
What could also help is the terminology. A Bitcoin wallet isn't a wallet. Also there are no bitcoin send to other people. Only ownership changes. Changing these things could prevent inevitable regulations/bills that prevent people from issuing self-custody Bitcoin/Lightning/ Cashu wallets.
It would be great if a Bitcoin wallet could be made so popular, but that it isn't in the app store. You can only download it directly. So it should probably contains interesting features that people like.
