i dont see any of this happening. actually blocking third part apps would nuke the entire android ecosystem.
the MOST draconian thing i can think of them doing is you have to register on their website as a 'android dev' to install third party apps. the most straightforward thing i can think of them doing is moving the 'unknown apps allow' option to the developer options. there is no way that they just block the ability of regular people to just compile and run apps for android without any special approval/privileges needed since that would put them in a SEVERE disadvantage vs IOS commercially.
this whole news story is just them shooting themselves in the foot PR wise and a nothingburger practically. you'll just have to go to a different menu to enable third party apps.
