F-Droid is great. It's a stark and sad outlook that the only path forward suggested by F-droid is to contact your representative. Effectively, this means there's nothing we can do. Expecting our representatives to go to war with Google on this somehow doesn't seem too plausible. I think it's more likely there will always be a way to sideload apps, or if not, maybe the degoogled OS alternatives will find their moment to shine.
