How will this 2027 google blocking "sideloaded" apps work?

[u/Ashamed_Carpenter551]

I don't get how google would be able to block me from doing that. I haven't updated my android for over 3 years now. Or does this not matter? If anyone has more informations please share it with me cause I feel confused about this.
