I do not understand why every user has to go through the complex process of registering their own porject just to access the APIs even just for themselves.
For example the Thunderbird email client as packaged in Fedora, simply asks for consent when attempting to access Gmail. I don't know how they do it, but it looks like Thunderbird is registered as a project and even the packaged version is considered as the same application.
In order to set the application as In Production, there is the following requirements:

 Your app will be available to any user with a Google Account.

You've configured your app in a way that requires verification (https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/9110914?authuser=1&hl=en_GB). To complete verification, you will need to provide:

1. An official link to your app's Privacy Policy
2. A YouTube video showing how you plan to use the Google user data you get from scopes
3. A written explanation telling Google why you need access to sensitive and/or restricted user data
4. All your domains verified in Google Search Console

There is no way any basic user is going to do this just to avoid having to reset their access token every week.
Or RClone works without the user having to register "their project" too.
All in all, is there anything this project can do about this situation to ease its use?
