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.

Abusing trusted computing? The whole concept is about NOT trusting the user and giving control to third parties instead.

Yeah, but while you could think of trusted computing like "the author of the code has control" - and I'd not see a big issue with payment apps being tamper-resistant, I do see a GIANT issue with Google instering their bloatware in the middle..
