This is the worst thing about this whole issue.

If they were actually good at removing crapware from the store, then a bit of collateral damage would be understandable. Instead, it is still filled with crapware and even when reported they do nothing. And instead, they go for honest developers.

At this point Google is practically almost hostile to honest developers.

Also, it is strange that they value the revenue from these crapware apps more than their platform's reputation compared to ios App Store.

I don't agree. Honest developers should never be suspended such arbitrarily, not even as "collateral damage". Please remember that for an Android studio, being suspended from the Play Store means not only the end of the business, but also the end of the developer's career as an Android dev.

Why would getting suspended from Play Store mean the end of a developer's career ? Could you elaborate? Isn't it possible to continue with a new gmail account? Am I missing something here?
