> The apps you actually need to participate in society (digital IDs, banking apps, etc.) will never run on your homegrown OS. This is a conscious decision that the authors of these apps are making and doesn't reflect any actual limitations. It's not actually important for my banking apps to be able to use my TPM; someone who takes a photo of a check (i.e. literally anyone I pay) can already withdraw money from my account. I can log in to my online banking page with just my username and password. The only reason why this happens is because: 1. Banks are very eager to avoid open APIs because they threaten their business 2. The minute decrease in fraud from requiring attestation is cheaper for banks. IMO we need serious and comprehensive reforms to prevent tech companies from just trampling all over user rights. It's MY bank account, why the hell do I need to go through Plaid or some other random third-party to programmatically read my balance?
