It's already happening. Google's device attestation means that apps can insist you run a signed OS (signed by Google, or an authorized partner) or refuse to work. I use GrapheneOS and because of this, I can't tap to pay or use my phone as a car key. No chance they'll ever allow GrapheneOS to join that program because it undermines their data collection and control.
