Why not? Freedom isn't a given --- you need to fight for it.

You can't expect people to go into fight mode for every single chunk of social interaction they engage into, and still be able to enjoy any moment of freedom.

A society which value freedom should of course give a lot of it to its citizen, and expect them to defend and improve it for everyone.

A society where freedom is never a given, is not going to foster much of it.

Rooting a device will usually cause banking apps to stop working.

I assume my S20+ won't get this because it's stopped getting anything but security updates. Sometime next year I'll look for the latest phone that's too old to get the new behavior.

I assume this will not be rolled out as an OS-upgrade but as a Play services update, so it will be enrolled by Google directly to nearly all devices on the market.

For now, there isn't an alternative. Maybe a Pixel phone and GrapheneOS with the sandboxed Play Store would be the only choice, but for now, nobody knows.
