I released an Android app to the Play Store ~10 years ago and the most important advice people were always sounding alarms about online in Android dev communities was to not publish under your real Google account you care about, because it's not unlikely a bot will ban your entire account because of some vague infraction that's near impossible to appeal.

Google seems to actively hate people who develop for their platforms. Which I don't believe is a good move with their current hand, where young people in wealthy countries (i.e. the future of people who will spend money on apps) are something like 90% iPhone users these days.
