Maybe something along the lines of developers require a registration key - addons only run provided the developer key is valid. That way you can revoke addons if they are detrimental to the Kodi trademark. I've not thought too deeply about how it could be achieved, but maybe maintain the developer key database on a backend server.

As stated a bunch of times, the Kodi project will never do this. Users are free to install and use Kodi however they want, as long as they are making an informed decision. The problem isn't the add-ons, but when the add-ons are presented as "official" or some kind of core Kodi feature.
