But like here in Sweden Mobile BankID forces you to use Android or Apple.
And at least that's a great improvement over the old BankID that forced you to use Windows.
But even both of those are massive improvements over the old days of constant in-person appointments (and delays), paper forms, etc.
I think it's the lesser evil tbh. Go live in Germany to experience the hassle of a technologically backward society (cash-only, paper forms and no widespread online authentication, in-person bureaucracy, widespread use of faxes or letters for service changes, etc.)
I do wish the EU/European governments would invest in Linux and FOSS to develop competitors to the US though. Atm we're basically a US colony, and tech salaries and opportunities reflect that.

And at this point using cash, checks, and other paper alternatives is clearly a lesser evil than being forced (to stay) on Android or iOS.
