Ok, but this mentality means you are buying into a narrative of a platform which is locked down not directly for your benefit or when it matters to you, but instead as an indirect side effect of building a platform catered to developers of apps like the banking app who then have complete control to make the call on when this matters and what they consider to be invalid... and so I just need to make sure that you understand, in the context of this thread on ad blocking, that by expressing this opinion, you are also, in practice, saying you think people blocking ads shouldn't be allowed (whether the mechanism is that developers move content from the web into apps you must install or the web fully supports the same level of drm as the app platform).

You are taking a position that you know what's best for consumers. That's quite presumptuous. For most consumers a locked device is in their interest because it protects them from malware and data loss.
