If this is enforced via Play Protect, then the whole mechanism can likely be disabled with:

    adb shell settings put global package_verifier_user_consent -1
This does not require root access and prevents Android from invoking Play Protect in the first place. (This is what AOSP's own test suite does, along with other test suites in eg. Unreal Engine, etc.)

I personally won't be doing this verification for my open-source apps. I have no interest in any kind of business relationship with anyone just to publish an .apk. If that limits those who can install it to people who disable Play Protect globally, then oh well.

I really hope this is done via Play Protect. You can also disable it temporarily in Google Play and install whatever you want.

Ironic that Google's supposed concern for avoiding malware will cause people to turn off their malware scanner.
