Linux phones are useless for common people until they can run government and bank apps.

I absolutely hate that government and bank apps are only available on the Play Store. You are legally required to have a Google account and accept their ToS to use them. I am aware of Aurora, but some banking apps check their origin and refuse to run if not downloaded from the Play Store.

I had to deal with this for government apps specifically related to immigration. I don't mind banks requiring it, I don't have to use that bank. I do mind governments requiring it if my only recourse is having to leave the country entirely.

What if all banks require it?

Banks aren't required. Its ridiculously inconvenient today to not have a bank account, but you aren't required to have one.

Cash salaries are banned in some European countries. You can't have any income without a bank account. Welcome to the dystopian future, enjoy your stay.
