So that's it then.

If this actually goes through, there will be no option in the mobile OS market for an OS that both:

a) allows the installation of apps without any contractual relationship with any party, and

b) allows the use of mainstream and secure apps like banking

In time, you will only be able to access banking from your desktop using an approved OS and browser with attestation...

De facto, this is already the case - you can use your computer as a display but to actually authorize a login or transaction you need your phone with said attestation.

Not true for either my AIB or Wise account.

True for PayPal though. I just recently had to jump through seven different hoops to verify my ID (with creepy, creepy face scans) and they absolutely refused to even start the process on desktop. Eventually got the stupid thing to work on my iPad; Android+Firefox was a no go, and it's stock Pixel 5a with Google OS.

Thankfully I don't actually rely on PayPal for anything serious, but there are artists whose commission I like to pay, and being able to actually pay them would be nice. :/

I mean, I'm sure it's true for some banks or financial services, but that's not really the same thing.
