A healthy competitor that grandma could use would change the world. Your alternatives are not there yet, and probably won't ever be.

It doesn't even need to be something that Grandma can use. It just needs to be something that will let you pass the various "you must have a smartphone to participate in society" checks. But considering banks and the like won't even let you use AOSP in many cases, I sincerely doubt one can get a Debian phone to work.

i hear the bank argument a lot and although i can understand the importance for those without another device, i'm a little stunned people rely on modern pocket spyware to monitor their accounts. maybe i know too much, or too little, but my banking concerns are infrequent and always in a browser.

Welcome to Poland, where you can't transfer more than ~$13K daily without using mobile auth (bank app). Currently only the PKO bank implements this (and I hope this backfires on them), but I'd not be surprised if others follow.
