To help developers reap these benefits, developers with newly created personal Play Console accounts will soon be required to test their apps with at least 20 people for a minimum of two weeks before applying for access to production. This will allow developers to test their app, identify issues, get feedback, and ensure that everything is ready before they launch. Developers who create new personal developer accounts will start seeing this requirement in Play Console in the coming days.

Seems like a great way to kill small app developers before they even start. I have about 12 total users of my apps, and there is no way i would have harrassed 20 friends to test it either.

Im sure mid-range developers will just create 20 tester accounts and breeze past this requirement.
