Several projects have already announced sunsetting in light of this announcement. It's hard to predict what will come of even major projects like F-Droid, but there will absolutely be a major cooling effect on the entire platform.
But why? As far as I know these projects make money from donations and surely the people that donate would have a custom ROM or root, speaking of which, there are app installers that work with Shizuku
There's been app whose developers stopped after no longer being able to publish to the Google Play Store, even though they also published to F-Droid.
I don't know why, but the "cooling effect" is certainly real.
The sun always sets. But which projects are shutting down?
