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.

most banks require 2FA or similar to confirm logins and operations. There is no way around it, this is the world we are heading towards: 2 companies in the entire planet decide who and what can be done online.
