> We are committed to developing this standard in a way that ensures it will not be abused to segment users based on client hardware. For example, we may consider supporting software keys for all users regardless of hardware capabilities. This would ensure that DBSC will not let servers differentiate between users based on hardware features or device state (i.e. if a device is Play Protect certified or not).

Personally I do not believe this for a second. Yes I do believe that this is what they will do now. But in a few years, if DBSC becomes mainstream? I fully believe Google will start abusing this to strengthen their control. It's the same with the Chrome browser that they eventually used to push MV3 and tried to push WEI.

Honestly? I feel that this could be their way of pushing WEI again through the back door, and I am concerned that unlike WEI, this seems to barely get any buzz or pushback from the community.
