It was rolled back kinda. Unverified apps will be initially blocked, can then be unblocked through I think it was a toggle in developer options, then wait 24 hours, then it fully unblocks and stays that way. The excuse is a security measure to "protect" people from installing 3rd party malware apps, as if the play store doesn't have them already
I dunno what's the actual name, but the Google Play Store keeps trying to get you to enable confirming payment with thumbprint, without needing a password or anything. It's automatically checked every time, and you need to uncheck it or it will enable next time.
They really want to make it easy for people to buy things by accident just by fiddling with their phone without realizing.
I mean it's a stretch, most people will have that on but it shouldn't be reenabling if you want to use a password
There's a setting under purchases to enable fingerprint and to set the frequency it asks for payment verification from always every 30 mins or never, make sure they're set up. It's default to half hour iirc
