Analysis of the Threads APK
The primary difference is when devs upload AABs, the AAB is split by the Play Store into multiple APKs for your specific device based on language, resources and ABI (bundletool handles this). So a user will usually receive multiple smaller APKs when a dev uploads an AAB. AABs are required for new apps as of Aug 2021 (source).

App on Android devices jumped from 225MB to 410MB+, with Unity 2020.3.40f1/41f1.
Yes, I checked the release notes for 40f1 and 41f1, don't see anything related to my problem. But I have found bundletool issue that mentions a similar problem. He said that this is an issue handled by Google play support on Aug 2022, and fixed on the Google Play Console side. Obviously, I have a similar issue now, so either it is a regression, or something new.

You can generate your own archived APK from an AAB using bundletool, the same tool that Google uses on Play.

Epic Games to appeal decision in App Store lawsuit case, as Apple calls it a 'huge win'
This isn't true. bundletool is available as open source and has no dependency on Play Services.

AAB format application.
It will definitely affect third party repos, like IzzyOnDroid. They just grab the apks from the developers' site, and put them in their repos. A lot of devs builds the apks for play store, and publishes them to github as well. If Play store will only accept aabs, than this devs won't build apks, only aabs. There is an official tool which can create apks from an aab: https://github.com/google/bundletool/ But someone has to run this tool, and that's another processor cycle, which costs money. Maybe this can run on the f-droid client and it will create an apk on the device, I don't know if it's possible. But this way the main point of aab is lost, as an aab generated apk is much smaller than a legacy apk, an d downloading the aab is even bigger than the old apk... (Ok now I see why google wants this, they want to suppress sideloading a bit)

Google Play will no longer accept APKs in August, new apps have to use Android App Bundle (AAB) instead
The tool to that is open source: https://github.com/google/bundletool
- About app-bundle, is it possible to configure it to end up with a single APK for everyone?

Good option, yes! Maybe something like Aurora Store could also be used to spoof a different (x86) device? https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore

I Give Up on Free Software Phones
Android devices could push something like https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore or even F-Droid to get a preinstalled store that's not completely evil.
For Linux devices, if you have a powerful enough phone (Pine64, can we please have a really beefy PinePhone?), you could bundle Waydroid + Aurora/F-Droid.

Guide to fix BROKEN ANNI update on US Server
Go to this link and download AuroraStore_4.2.3.apk, an open source client that fetches files directly from the Play Store servers. Here is an FAQ for the project if you're worried about safety or breaking Google ToS. This method is safe but you can choose to create a new Google account for the login if you're not comfortable using your main account.
- You can help the Aurora Store create new anonymous accounts.
