For clarification, this will likely mean anyone using a VPN won’t be allowed to also use non-google phones. As google will repeatedly request captcha on known VPN endpoints and they are common vectors for malicious programs and bots to use, so it’s almost certainly going to be escalated to the QR code level.
Honestly I expect a bit of resistance to this change from web operators though. They are not going to like VPN users submitting bug reports saying “they can’t verify/its annoying so fix it”. There are far more users using VPN’s as a standard than there is custom firmware or degoogled devices.
