Here, in Brazil, this is becoming more and more common, but in the US it's already an endemic problem for those who don't use tech. My biggest issue with all this comes to the forced dependency of 3rd party services and ToS agreements to use something totally unrelated to it, along with all the technical issues that, we all know, happens every time. For example, here the federal bank will ask you to install their app trough App/Play store. Since there are still MANY tech illiterate people here, they still have in-person service. But for the majority of people, they will try to force you to use the app. It's a "don't you guys have phones?" issue i see spreading everywhere, but almost nobody complains about it because... it's easier. They don't care about privacy, data collection, none of this, and companies (with government bodies) are taking advantage of this for reasons i rather not speculate about here. During Covid, i took my first dose of vaccine and the nurse said "check out our Instagram to see the next date of vaccination". "But i don't have a Instagram account or any social media. Is there any official channel, like a .gov website?" i asked, and she shrugged like 'its your problem then'. I walk out of any restaurant that forces you to scan a QR code for the menu, and if possible, i avoid the usage of my phone all together. As long as people are compliant in that behavior, things will only get worse.
