So what's the solution? What's the reaction of semiofficial Android forks? Should we switch to Huawei now? Should we then have two phones? One with Android fork and one with some other "official" OS?

Ok, it seems having GrapheneOS on phone would suffice [1]. 1. https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/25235-google-wants-to-verif...
I would presume that open source android distributions can get around this. Like LineageOS and GrapheneOS. Hopefully this change will give them more popularity. But I assume Google is also trying to lock down hardware so you can't install anything else than their propietary Android.
