so far it only seems that it affects burner accounts that people have made specifically to use with Aurora.

I hope this is the case. As much as I tempted to shrug off the possibility of losing my largely disused google accounts I can never be certain I will never need to recover some old account with gmail or google authenticator that I hadn't deemed worth the effort to port into keepass.
Thanks very much for the heads up on this. I try to get most of my apps from F-Droid, but there are a few I still need to get from Google. In a worst case scenario, like if Aurora can't fix this or there isn't something else like Yalp (wait...Yalp?) how will I be able to download gplay store apps? I don't even have a Google account. If I had used Mrs. Swann's G account and it got deleted, I'd probably have to spend the rest of the morning picking up all my teeth off the floor...
