Isn't this just how mounts work? If you have a something mounted to /apex/whatever and each app has a separate mount namespace, then mounting over /apex/whatever in your namespace wouldn't change anything in any other mount namespace. You'd need to either just alter the filesystem directly, or enter the other apps' mount namespaces and mount your tmpfs there too.

Shared mounts might be useful here. Not sure. I'd need to take a closer look at what is going on here.

But I would say this result is probably a byproduct of whatever namespacing/containerisation Google is doing, rather than an intentional effort to prevent users from changing the root CAs even as root.
