Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

I call those "apps not worth using"

Until the app in question is your banking app

My flamin' hot take still stands. I don't see a need for banking apps when there are web browsers, cards, and cash.

You have never bought anything online? Every bank now requires their app to verify online transactions

I have never installed any banking app and I buy stuff online all the time.

I buy things online with my bank and have had to verify 0 transactions.

You're right on that, but we can't expect everyone to act the same and ditch such apps all at once. So, it's very important to point the issue out and take action to stop it.
