Anyone even remotely privacy or security conscious needs to vote with their wallet in protest and stop buying Android phones, otherwise it's only a matter of time 'til Google bans side-loading and it becomes impossible to buy a phone that can run any kind of anonymous or end-to-end encrypted communication software.

The alternative is just Apple; if Google loses enough users they might reconsider. Essentially the only real advantage Android had over Apple was being a more free platform/ecosystem; if they're going to do away with that, then they should be shown that this means they'll lose a lot of users.
