Googleads-mobile-unity: Huge number of ANRs in Unity: Input dispatching timed out...

[REQUIRED] Step 1: Describe your environment

Unity version: 2020.3.18f1
Google Mobile Ads Unity plugin version: v6.1.0, v6.1.1
Platform: Android
Platform OS version: Android 6 - 10
Any specific devices issue occurs on: BQru BQ-4028UP!, Lenovo Tab M7, Nokia 5, ZTE Blade L130, Redmi 9C NFC, HOMTOM S16, Huawei 荣耀9青春版
Mediation ad networks used, and their versions: None

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe the problem

In past year Admob team introduced a bug into its Unity SDK which causes a huge number of ANRs for many developers.
You can find lots of reports on support forum, but the most recent topic is https://groups.google.com/g/google-admob-ads-sdk/c/6LfTaInDGtU.

The issue seems to be a deadlock related to the init of the WebView.
Initially Admob team ignored and and attributed the problem to a bug in a specific Android's WebView bug, and as they said issue should have recede as people upgrade to newer WebView. Turns out it's not the case, and we see more and more ANRs in a newer versions of Android.
What even more suspicious these ANRs come in waves - few days there is none of them, and then huge wave which pushes apps to a bad behaviour threshold.

This problem is super critical, since i ruins many apps and business, because Google Play severely punishes apps for even slight increase in ANRs rate.

So far Admob team was handling this issue in a disgraceful way: ignoring it initially, and "investigating" it for about 2-3 months already with no result.

There is two types of ANRs related to the same issue:

1. Broadcast of Intent { act=android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF flg=0x58200010 }

No stack trace

2. Input dispatching timed out (Waiting to send non-key event because the touched window has not finished processing certain input events that were delivered to it over 500.0ms ago. Wait queue length: 9. Wait queue head age: 14852.2ms.)

Hello there, what is the status of this issue?
Just to mention few numbers, by 2020 Goggle Ad Network (Google revenues from advertising outside of its IP's) were $23B. More or less 30%-40% of them are from Admob and probably something like 30% might come from this plugin. So, aproximately $2B revenues were generated from this plugin itself.

Most of the problems are affecting other plugins such as the C++ and/or Java ones, or even other libraries and services such as Firebase. But lets focus on this one, $2B per year, not a big deal for a company such Google but actually it is if we look at it with perspective. The strenght of Advertising is in the capacity to deliver targeted and valuable customers (own ecosystem + external one), if they begin to lose the trust of the advertisers from a publisher perspective they will be getting less data so they will become weaker and the performance of the whole ecosystem will begin to fall. This plugin is targetting mainly Games (Where Admob has a pretty dominant situation but getting weaker due to these problems) where customers spend most of their time when on mobile (+ social networks -> none of them google owned or even showing Goggle Ads). This is a really risky situation for you guys, it has been months of failures and delays.
