Yes so Android is so locked down because Google deprecated 2 apps that 2/3 of my Android phones did not use out of the box instead having oem alternatives plus 3rd party ones.
Google is fucking up Android trying to close it down and put themselves in absolute control but this is actually meaningless. Now playintegrity and locking down payments behind it is a much more annoying and effective strategy.
