Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

While using an F-Droid application, I received a warning from Android, which goes as follows:

Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on certified Android devices will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google. Since the developers of this app do not agree to this requirement, this app will no longer work on certified Android devices after that time.
OK
DETAILS

Are we supposed to be concerned?
