i made and released some apps in the early days. Got tired of it and got tired of the reminders from google to add banners, screenshots, submitting icons to support multiple resolutions.. notifications that apps i haven't touched in decade are no longer compatible etc.
so much extra work involved that isn't building the app.
I worry how this will affect fdroid etc.

Got tired of this with a few extensions I made too. It felt like every year or so they'd completely break some API and I'd have to go switch to the new one, then they wanted a privacy policy, then justification for permissions, etc etc. Wasn't worth the trouble eventually and I just let them die.
