Maybe we should only do this for .NET 6, so instead something like:
<AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies Condition=" '$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)' == '' and '$(UsingAndroidNETSdk)' == 'true' ">false</AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies>
<AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies Condition=" '$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)' == '' and '$(UsingAndroidNETSdk)' != 'true' ">true</AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies>$(UsingAndroidNETSdk) is true under .NET 6.

And drop _AndroidEnablePreloadAssembliesDefault completely?

A couple other places use $(_AndroidEnablePreloadAssembliesDefault) so I instead added the condition to _AndroidEnablePreloadAssembliesDefault itself

I would suggest using != 'true, which will nicely match both false and empty string and /p:UsingAndroidNETSDK=ThisIsASeriouslyWeirdValue.

We now have unit test failures, e.g. Appears to be this assert: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/blob/c9e2d7540393f25d854014d158b4eb7c66a2b7c2/src/Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks/Tests/Xamarin.Android.Build.Tests/BuildTest.cs#L3935 Is |

Since this PR will require additional changes anyway…
Could you please indent this line to match the following line, removing some of the leading whitespace?

Disable the current default behavior of Xamarin.Android runtime to preload all the assemblies shipped in the apk on application startup. This behavior has been the default in order to support older versions of `Xamarin.Forms`, sacrificing startup performance.

…#5790) Fixes: dotnet#5838 Context: e0da1f1 Partially reverts 522d7fb which reverted d13d0f9 The [`$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)`][0] property controls whether or not *all* `.dll` files contained within a `.apk` are loaded during process startup. *Not* doing so reduces process startup times, which is desirable, but this also caused certain Xamarin.Forms apps to fail to run as they previously had, as not loading all assemblies during startup broke their Dependency Injection infrastructure. For .NET 6, we feel we have *some* "wiggle-room" to change default semantics, so for .NET 6 projects set the default value of `$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)` to False, so that assemblies are *not* pre-loaded during process startup. `$(AndroidEnablePreloadAssemblies)` can be set to True within the app's `.csproj` file to return to "legacy" semantics. This will cause all assemblies to be loaded during startup, with a commensurate increase in app startup overheads.
