This is a cautionary story for Android developers, but my main takeway is why these big behemoths should be split.
There's no reason why banning someone from an app store, for any reason, resulting in banning them from an totally unrelated online video site, password manager, locking them from 3rd party sites that use Google Auth, ... is acceptable.
Imagine being banned from a clothing store because you returned one item too many and then not being able to buy groceries from another, or not being able to get on a bus, or unlock your house.

This is ridiculous.
