Didn't Google say that they're gonna provide an escape hatch for students and hobbyists? So, best case scenario, we just need to tap some label 5 times to enable side-loading again.

I don't have a "legal name". Sounds like some sovcit bullshit. I go by several names, none of which is canonical. Maybe other countries formalize this idea, but the countries where I am a citizen/resident do not.

I love that email OTP is good enough for this, but apparently not for anything else, where I'll need an approved verified secure attested super official app.

Considering every country has passports and passports all have the person's legal name on them. And thst the passport standard only supports having one name with a primary and secondary identifier. You must be mistaken.

They might have several different passports from different countries.

It's also fairly common for instance for women to have multiple names from their marriage(s).
