Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.

so only 99% are affected, that really calms me down.

Manny services that are connected to finance/payment require gapps, car sharing, banking etc.

Don’t install gapps. And ffs don’t use banking on insecure devices anyway

  If I don’t install gapps my banking apps don’t work.

    Does the bank app do anything that the mobile bank website can’t? I’ve never felt the need to install an actual bank app. You can use micro g or sandbox gapps.

    Some banks the website works only if you install some kernel modules. Worst than use the cellphone app.
