This is no different from before. If you want consumers to be able to install your app without a warning on Google builds, you have to jump through verification hoops. The only thing that ADV changes for developers is that now they can distribute their apps outside the system app stores without a warning as well, which is a new benefit, not a new restriction.
The correct thing to complain about is requiring developer mode for unverified installs, which doesn't seem necessary, not ADV. If you complain about ADV, of course the legislators are going to ignore you. ADV makes Google builds strictly more open and resolves the complaints of the state.
Oh man thank you for the clarification <3
Can Android OEMs, bundling Google Mobile Services for Android certification, choose different trust roots for verification?

I had assumed the friction was to dissuade developers from not going through ADV. Isn't it partly for making malware distribution more traceable and campaigns easier to halt on GMS/certified Android systems?
