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...

For what conceivable reason would they make the users go on desktop, considering mobile is in the process of being fully locked down?

If anything, they'd eventually deny access from desktop, forcing everyone to login via the fully manages mobile devices without any user freedom.

Some banks are already getting there btw, as their preferred 2fa is a companion app... One small step away from making that the only option, effectively denying access to anyone without a locked down mobile device.

This happened to me recently in Austria, I had to get a new phone to be able to do internet banking. You can only use the app with attestation from the PlayStore, AppStore or surprisingly Huawai store.

When I complained repeately that this was forcing me into an American or Chinese ecosystem, they said that no one cares and I'm a minority :-(.

For the desktop, you need the phone for the 2FA.
