Having to find and install separate firewall software is exactly what I mean by not remotely user friendly, regardless of how relatively user friendly any particular firewall may be. Why can I not simply disable network access in the app settings? Why am I not being asked to grant this permission just like I'm asked to grant access to my photos? Permissions systems on desktop platforms are mostly useless for regular users and only somewhat less useless on mobile.
