SafetyNet also exists to prevent people from running Android apps on platforms other than Android. You can't use SafetyNet-enabled apps on Anbox, which is what SailfishOS uses as their Android compatibility layer, nor on emulators.
If you wanted to do a WSL but for Android, SafetyNet guarantees many apps won't work.
It also puts alternative Linux-based mobile operating systems, like SailfishOS or postmarketOS, at a disadvantage because they won't be able to run certain Android apps for no real technical reason other than the protection of Google's money firehouse.
