I can get behind a delay to enable side loading and the warning screens are nothing to me since I can just click past them. Though the delay should be more like 30-60 minutes at the most.
The real problem is requiring devs (even outside of the play store) to identify themselves. That is ridiculous and does absolutely nothing to secure the device for the user. (It only secures it under Google for their interests)
I mean I get the idea of the forced restart and the general waiting time - assuming a scammer wants you to install a “side loaded” app, it will disconnect their call with you, of they’re calling you on that phone. Same for a waiting period that forces the scammer to either hang around on the phone with you for a long time or to call again some time in the future.
It does create extra blocks, but isn’t going to be as effective as eg. The helmet law for stopping motorcycle theft. (Compulsory helmet -> cannot just take any unattended motorcycle without being sus)

But 24h?

Scammers spoof the caller ID. Blocking numbers doesn’t do shit because those aren’t their real numbers.
