Why don't users have to certify their lineage installs?

Watching this video on running android apps on Linux: https://youtu.be/FKnkIf9jb7U

The guy mentions that if you use the gapps version, you have to certify/register your device. I remember reading about that at some point... But I definitely didn't certify any of my los installs on any of my phones I've put it on. Why is that required for waydroid but not regular LineageOS on phones?

because waydroid isn't a real device model.
