    Google employee confirmed. Absolute trash reasoning verging on trolling it’s so ridiculous. Wild that you arguing so vehemently in favour of reduced access to use your hardware the way you want.

    All of them

    Laughable. You’ve obviously never worked in any kind of customer support role.

    Most people are going to melt at the steps necessary to use adb.

    capacity isn’t willpower.

    By capacity I meant access to hardware. There are so many people in poorer countries out there that don’t have a laptop, permission to start using one for installing adb on it but also have an android phone.

    welcome to an effective deterrent.

    I don’t want an effective deterrent that effectively kills fdroid and the like. That’s the whole point. I’ve favoured android because it’s more open. The talking points in favour of it pale in comparison to the loss of freedom.

    If casual users can’t bother with a straightforward procedure

    Honestly just jog on. Please. It is not a straightforward procedure and my threat model shouldn’t need to include the steps you outline. There are already barriers in place that put off casual users.

    The fact that you want people to stop installing open source apps that they trust is honestly deranged. Deranged.
