imho, the author should stop making apps for Google and iOS and start making them for the linux phones. "but so few people have a linux phone" you will argue. Well, one of the reasons for that is that good hardworking app developers are still naively giving away their time to the large corps that make the rules. Want to live outside the rules? Support an echo system that has less of them. Until then, complaining is just a waste of your time and everyone else. Google will only change when their pockets dictate it, no sooner.
