Guess when I return to android I’m not going to be able to use apps :(

spoiler

Or I wade into the waters of Linux based phones with the higher stakes of it being my main device, so I’ll be forced to adapt and deal with any tricky problems under time pressure or I won’t be able to use it.

I don’t really use apps except my banking app but am increasingly being pressured to for things like maps, and may eventually be forced to.

This is really dumb by the way. Or just a naked data grab. You can verify for OS or apps all you want but at such a general level without even having a profile or requiring impersonation there’s nothing to stop someone else from simply using the phone. Parents do actually keep their child occupied by handing them their own phone… Passkeys may help but can be given for that purpose or guessed. All of this would be better handled by using parental controls.
