All it is needed is to have at least equivalents of basic apps from F-Droid and we're getting there.
Propietary apps for accessing one smart toilet seat brand or some trash locked down social platform should be abandoned anyway.
What to you think about proprietary apps for accessing a bank account?
I kinda need these. Otherwise I'd have to carry two phones and I don't want to do that.
They shouldn't be used, not on Android, not on the web, not on Linux. We should not show companies, banks and our goverment that we are capable of giving up our freedom for some convience.
Maybe if I'll be doing buissness and need to do multiple money transfers a day I'll be using their web apps on a computer, but as I am individual person, I give friends cash and pay online via other methods.
That's your choice. But you can make the same argument about using the Internet in general. Or any device that runs any proprietary, non-user-modifyable code.
