No, Google is being aggressive likely due to liability.

I made an Android app that used React Native and it was the simplest thing ever. It had no auth, no telemetry, no persisted storage. Quite literally all it did was take text input and output it's braille equivalent and vice versa.

Had another one that made procedurally generated credits like you'd see at the end of a game. Same thing. No auth, no telemetry, etc.

I made a total of $3.97 for those apps. I did also receive a $350 settlement for some class action lawsuit Google lost about something they did to developers.

Closing my account removes me from potential future class action pools.
