I think Google may just no longer want small/indie apps on the store. Only apps with sufficient monetary or corporate backing to have people test and maintain them.

It's the end of an era for small developers. They can go submit their apps to F-Droid or Aptoide or whatever. That said, these alternative app stores need to be able to function properly on Android, without their apps being removed by Google Play Protect (which I think I've heard of happening).
