This is not the case. Don't assume goodwill from Google. > The rationale they gave is that hate speech appears on these apps, So does in countless app on the store, and not in the third party content, but app themselves pretty much, and Google don't touch it. A much more rational assumption is that Google sees the Fediverse as something that can come to steal their cattle (eyeballs,) and they have a plan to subplant it. You will very soon see them turning even more picky, and eventually remove even censored fediverse apps. They are repeating the trick they did with uBlock. First, they say do a purge, with an option for the most resistant to "play along," and a few month later, they pull the rug again. This way, they evade an immediate backlash.
