Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

Tell that to all those assholes that are making malware and scamming society on billions.

Most of users are not able to keep themselves safe in the internet - they want to install all kind of crap without thinking too much.

All of this is companies making it possible that average Joe could just click links, install any kind of crap and still be somewhat secure.

Malware is not a huge problem that requires restructuring the entire ecosystem to be closed and authoritarian. Nobody I know has ever had problems with malware or scams on Android.

This has nothing to do with malware, and has everything to do with locking down the Android ecosystem to keep out competitors to Google's services.
