Again... Google is already trying to do this for me. No, thank you - I can easily set up there rules for myself.

I hope I'm being too cynical and pragmatic.
Take a look at the comments in the thread about Huawei cheating on benchmarks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17931549. TL;DR: yes, they're doing it, yes everyone else is doing it too, has been doing it since forever, and it's not just phones, it's PC GPUs as well.
You're not being too cynical. The world is just fucked up.
Human beings love resources (money), power and control. Anything that gives them that can and will be exploited. Approach the world with that in mind and you can anticipate the vast majority of these issues. Game designers do this all the time without worrying about being "cynical".
But most people can't. Google isn't doing this for people like you, they are doing it for people like me that either don't know how to set it up or are happy for somebody else to take care of it for them.
And even for people like yourself that have the skills to set up these rules - why do you want to? Surely there are higher value projects for you to apply these skills.
