What if instead, Google makes it optional? Maybe they can release a tool to create APKs from App Bundles locally (maybe call it, idk, 'bundletool' or something like that). They could also make it so the Google Play Console allows developers to choose between uploading APKs or an App Bundle, and communicating the pros/cons of both methods. That way, a developer (not Google) can choose which option is best for their business and their customers! Sound good to me at least (although to be fair, I don't have an ulterior motives or bad intentions)
