Dont worry, google is working hard to make sure that even employees are unable to do anything of that sort. Gather the world's information and make it uniformal

Dont worry, google is working hard to make sure that even employees are unable to do anything of that sort. Gather the world's information and make it uniformally unsupported.

This is good. It will tie the fates of small time customers/users to the elites, so the situation gets fixed or the business collapses.

  Agreed. The current state is the most awful for the powerless. At least this change evens the playing field a bit so that when $HUGE_CORP gets burned they will raise enough hell to (hopefully) fix the process.

    Occasionally this happens, see Epic Games, and then the $HUGER_CORP has their security teams look for spurious "vulnerabilities" and then uses their PR team to have them dragged through the mud, etc.

  I agree. A process that's broken for everyone gets fixed. A process that can be worked around by everyone who has the power to get it changed can stay broken indefinitely.

    Google has many processes that are broken for everyone and don't get fixed. That's why monopolies are bad.

OK, but the only processes that are broken for everyone are processes that are mandatory for everyone. Using a different process is a perfectly workable way to get around a broken process.

Just speculating, but another possibility may be a new kind of business popping up: Google App Store experts who can somehow prevent these problems and/or make them go away. Similar to Google-SEO consultants, or college-admissions consultants who help rich kids get into universities they normally couldn't.
