The issue with government IDs is that they are, for all we know, not trustworthy, but everyone treats them like they are. And you know, I am not going to "verify" myself with Google with this kind of toilet paperwork.
If Google decides to pull this off, then I guess reflashing to a custom ROM with this crap patched out will be a very first step I'll be recommending to anyone who cares.
It seems you missed my main point - the whole point is to fight for this right to reflash a custom ROM, because they're slowly coming for that too. First Play Integrity, now no AOSP releases and more vendors disabling bootloader unlocking..
