Sure. On my phone I run LineageOS. But now I can't run Google Pay, Netflix, by bank's app, the McDonalds app, Snapchat and many more. No big loss for me but as these systems get more pervasive you can only expect that this list grows. These companies want to control us and these APIs given them the possibility to do so.

* I can actually run Google Pay because the original SafetyNet API was software backed. So I can spoof a signature from an old device that didn't support hardware attestation. In particular my Pixel 4a claims to be a Nexus 5 so that Google's servers don't expect a hardware signature. But I'm sure that the clock is ticking until these apps (or Google globally) stop considering software backed validation acceptable. I'm quite sure that this Web Integrity API will be hardware backed from the start.
