This story with restricting users is a similar one to Manifest V3 in Chromium.

But we don't have anything like FF as an alternative to go from Android. Especially considering banks require "certified OS".

What if we collectively decide to use the web alternatives for banking? We lose some convinience since they are generally desktop oriented, but they don't check who signed my kernel

My bank recently made it that app-based MFA must be used for every single web login. Unless I and many others are willing to swap banks in the vain hope that the new bank won't do the same thing (I am not), then we're cooked.

Just say you do not have a compatible device. Special undocumented alternatives appear every time in my experience.

Sure, one option means paying for each SMS (actually they had to abandon that one), another option is getting a paid banking card just to use a hardware device. From my experience they try to make sure that you will get a certified phone . I just got one because for some reason my Redmi Note 10 despite passing all play integrity checks after hacks like Tricky store+Key box triggered some checks in my banking apps. I needed to use an aftermarket ROM, because my device would not receive any updates from Xiaomi (also I don't know why a device packed with Chinese bloat ware is certified as secure in the first place). And guess what I bought: a Google Pixel. Smart Google, huh.

That sounds... fine? Like... there are actually alternatives. Sure, if their plan is to phase out those alternatives, then that's bad, but... the current situation seems fine?

Reality is very different. If you have the courage, you can experiment living one year without bank card or wire payments, then your life is going to get very very difficult.
