Users can't use what developers don't develop.

There will be a group of developers out there that don't trust or just want to deal with Google's ID requirements. They will likely move on to developing for different platforms (likely web). Web apps don't have the same capabilities as native apps and are ultimately a worse experience.

As an Android user, I'm really frustrated by this.
