Android ceased to be a free ecosystem the second this feature showed up. It's basically equivalent to a video games console now. Cryptography empowers whoever has the keys, and it's not us. Apps "checking" whether they're running on "approved" hardware and software are the future. And it's only going to get worse from here.
