It feels more like an automated block due to uncharacteristical increase in download activity. Something that it seems more and more companies are taking seriously is the cottage industry of scams involving less technically savvy downloading apps online and getting their information stolen. The motivation for this is probably the same as Google stopping side loading. Take that as you want.
And how would blocking the devs ability to sign the new version stop the spread of the already downloaded and still available old version?
I think you forgot we're talking about the kernel drivers specifically - normal scammers don't need that, they use AnyConnect downloaded from Chrome.
I think you also forgot to read it all and missed that it was supposedly some deanonymisation (ID verification) process that kicked it off, and missed that the dev has immediately verified themselves but then we're told they need to wait 2 months to wait.
Because.
It's not an automated process at this point.
