Comment on Why aren't Linux based mobile OSes more popular?
VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoI know several banks who’s apps don’t need Google Attestation. I would also not use a bank that forces an app as the main point of contact as my main one. A lot of banks around here offer a tan-device as an alternative. There’s also a lot of transport associations that offer nationally valid chip-cards.
I do see why it’s a problem, but I also don’t think that one should let such services dictate their choice of mobile device. I do know that I come from a privileged position, living in a country where I have options.

if you’re aware there are countries where the options you’re talking about dont exist, maybe you also get why some people are so hung up on these banking apps?

I do get it, and I could have phrased it differently. My point mostly is, it is often painted as an insurmountable problem for adoption, and while that might be true for a lot of users, there’s also a large number of user for who it isn’t.
Also, for me personally, I’d rather switch banks than use a phone with a stock rom, but I know most people don’t view things that way.
