Does anyone here actually support Google's Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

Is there any way to build Android apps for Linux if you have the source code? I know Waydroid is a thing but that's basically just a VM of Android. I was told Jetpack compose is supposed to be cross platform so there should be a way migrate it right?

Yes. Jetpack Compose is multiplatform. If you have the source code of an android app, you can port it to your preferred platform, but you have to adjust most of the code depending on the functionality since APIs are platform-specific unless it's JVM only.
