In my opinion, René helped Google lose "all moral compass" by very actively preventing users from having control over their own devices. Under René Mayrhofer as Android Head of Security, it has become harder and harder to use rooted Android phones, because of the Play Integrity API. Even the fucking McDonalds app requires strong integrity, for some reason, so it can be hard to get working on a rooted Android phone.
Android was supposed to be the open operating system for phones, but Google is slowly eroding away all the openness Android had.
Because "strong integrity" in that context just means "tamper resistant user data pipeline." They don't give the fuckidiest of fucks about app integrity, privacy, or security; they care that their ads get through to you, and every drop of your personal info and activity data gets though to them.
Embrace, extend, extinguish.
Democrats just i agree with you 99%. The 1% is the word "slowly". That went away a couple of years ago, now they're jusspeed-running it.
