I hate the security argument when it comes to third party stores or apps. No one is putting a gun to your head to install these things. Imagine trying to apply the same logic to macbooks and not let them install from the web or homebrew.

My employer demands that I have some proprietary 2FA app installed. And while it’s the norm for companies to provide you with a laptop that you install their trojans on, it’s not the norm to provide you with a work phone, so I’m glad there is a middleman limiting the damage I’m exposed to when I install corporate software on my phone. And that’s a device that has access to much more information about me, whom I talk to and what I do with my spare time, when and where.

I dont even get it. Apps require system prompts for access to local network, files, etc. Whats the security issue?

This is a website where some moron will read a big disclaimer that ChatGPT is a generative AI and can't give you objective facts, click "Yes, I understand", then have a long conversation with it and kill himself and that is supposedly OpenAI's fault. So it's pretty amusing that here the view is "a modal is immunity from fault".

Not put a gun to your head but ring up pretending to be your bank and there’s fraud detected and can you follow these steps to verify your identity and secure your account.

Okay but they can do that right now.
