The problem is not someone knowing something. The problem is that since 99% of people use their devices in stock configuration, "no attestation available" would be interpreted as "attestation not passed". We're already seeing that with banking apps on Android. It doesn't matter whether you've rooted your stock ROM or running something without Google services, the app will refuse to work either way.

The bank thing doesn't bother me, personally. I can circumvent such restrictions entirely by using a bank that has a physical branch near me, and doing my business in person.

Or by using the website... oh wait.

From what I gather it depends a lot on the country, but in some countries, including Russia where I'm from, money transfers are done through your bank's app. You probably won't go to a branch to send someone $15 for pizzas they ordered at a party or something. Your only option would be to carry cash for such occasions.

I'm in the US, but this is exactly what I do. I don't think I've ever actually used a banking app to send a small payment to someone for things like this, nor has anyone tried to use an app to send money to me. Cash is king.

(I fully understand that not everyone can or wants to handle payments this way. I'm just saying what works for me. I have no banking apps on my phone at all.)
