I mostly use apps installed from F-Droid, so I’m not sure how I’ll use the phone, except that it’s sometimes required as a contact method.

I’ve seen differing reports on that one. One Q&A with a google rep that made it sound like android studio (? The IDE/toolkit) could still do whatever without a key but with a lot of vague reference to other modes and programs.
Which, to me, reeks of “Sooner than later, all devs will need a key”. Because if it were really that clean cut, they would be screaming it from the mountain top.
I think that goes similarily with the plan that app publishers need to be authorized to publish on play store? same as with a key. KYC everywhere
so you mean unauthorized apps wont be running on android?
that would be anyway the enshittification of android.
