I am not one of those people. I rarely use my phone (even though it
runs Replicant, i.e. FOSS). Unfortunately, as I mentioned, it is
service providers (e.g. banks) that assume everyone must be an idiot
running their "app" with all the insane permission requirements. One
can't even shop in Lidl without installing their app, unless one wants
to pay much more for the same products in the shop. Banks make it
deliberately impossible to run their app in a VM.

Along these lines, an Android solution seems to be the only option to
live in the society (just how that sounds!), especially for other family
members who don't understand the dangers.

I hope that clarifies my worries.
