Unlikely, since I can't recall any instances of them granting one-off exceptions for their apps in the past.

Do you have any evidence that that's the approach they plan to take here, or is this just a lazy accusation backed by nothing but cynicism?

What else do you think their "PlaystoreFramework" is all about?

I'm pretty sure they don't hold themselves to their own app store policies (and neither Apple to theirs) and I remember there being a flagrant example but I can't find a reference quickly googling it.
