The EU did learn something from the cookie debacle in GDPR: in the DMA regulation that came after they explicitly specified that (another) user consent could only be asked once per year. That avoids the "ask users until they say yes" problem.

We have published an open letter to Google opposing the Android Developer Verification Program with over 30 organizations as signatories: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/DMA III. 6.4: "The gatekeeper shall not be prevented from taking, to the extent that they are strictly necessary and proportionate, measures to ensure that third-party software applications or software application stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system provided by the gatekeeper, provided that such measures are duly justified by the gatekeeper."
