The exact reason I am planning to dump Android entirely. Every new Android version is worse than the previous and enforces new compliance measures. Exceptionally developer-unfriendly and increasingly reliant on centralised cloud APIs for features as basic as push notifications. Another topic is how aggressively anti-freedom Android has gotten with the standard practice of root detection. It feels like more tech overall is becoming a walled garden as of late. Suddenly, they started doing this? I don't rely on Google Play in any capacity, but it is terrifying. Anyone not determined enough to sideload a third party app store or apps in general will find themselves unable to use a substantial amount of projects that relied on outdated SDK or just couldn't keep the pace, even if the code is out there and can be audited.
