The ACTION_MAIN loophole has been written about before: https://commonsware.com/blog/2020/04/05/android-r-package-vi...

Google refuses to patch this. I wonder what would happen if you submit it to the Android VDP as a permission bypass.

There’s also this SO question by the author about the bypass: https://stackoverflow.com/q/79527331

Submitting it to the Android VDP is a solid idea, though I wouldn't be surprised if it gets waved off as "working as intended."

The right ("as intended", in my view) functionality would be to support a manifest with, say, five apps, and if as a dev you wanted more youd apply to google for an exception (like aws limit increases) with a list of reasons for each app.
