Today I can just give a store like droid store permissions.. In future it will require 24h.. Or ot install with adb.. This is a big step backwards.
That said I've concluded the phone is now a device for accessing approved things.. For things I own its Linux PC/laptop/mini laptop acting like a table.. I guess my supernote reader is an android 8 device but its more limited use cases and they are going back to Linux too...
The phone is work access, bank access, and a browser.. I wish this didn't need to be a semi dedicated device but here we are.
