But this is for apps outside the Play store, so the DSA isn’t at play here insofar as Google needs to be concerned. I don’t think there’s any solid decision on whether third-party app distribution is subject to the trader requirements, but if/when there is, it’d presumably be on the alternative distribution platform to enforce, not Google. Plus, Google already adjusted its policies to comply with the DSA.

For the record, Apple notes that the DSA requirements only impact developers distributing through the App Store, not through alternative distribution [1].
