The mobile equivalent, the play integrity API should be illegal and fought in court. I'm also pretty sure it goes against the right to repair and e-waste laws in the EU since it's whole idea is to remove third party roms.

We should start to orient the debate instead on the security issues created by Google and their ads.

Google is abusing trusted computing. While I can understand that some banks prefer the payment processing code to be run on devices which are locked down, currently such Android devices contain Google adware and spyware, which is definitelly not necessary for a trusted device to be used for payments.

Google should be split so that the interests of Google'd not taint Android and Chrome.

That's exactly the thing, this integrity api only means the deviced is controlled, not secure, that's two very different things. You can have a phone riddled with pre-installed malware passing the safety net and you can have EOS, the cleanest rom that I know about which can fail it.
