      SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/

        I hate how corporations name their lock-in bullshit names that make it sound like it’s for the user’s protection when it’s just protecting their garbage monopolies. I’d argue an open platform not under Google’s control is more secure and safer for my data than a Google spy machine.

          while typically I would agree, safetynet actually does do a lot to provide a safe execution environment. Yes, it can be used for vendor lock-in BS and drm, however it does also get used to protect privileged apps like banking apps, secure email etc
