@pojntfx that would be terrible design, completely outrageous even. I'm not enough of a specialist to grasp that document fully, could you be so kind to teach us how you did conclude that google/apple would be a *requirement* from this document?

@arjen SafetyNet checks only pass on devices with unchanged, factory-sealed, non-unlockable firmware. Google has an allowlist of devices that pass that test. The same remote attestation mechanism is also used to block downloading the app through anything other than the Google Play Store, which you need a Google Account for. And you can't use Google if you're on the US sanction list (see e.g. the ICC prosecuter case). Using any open source OS of any type is also completely impossible.
