There are not going to be apps on Linux phones.
Definitely not banking apps.

Use a bank with a good web interface...

I guess bitcoin finally has a usecase /s

Well, most people use iOS or android, so we are talking about a very specific and dedicated bunch here.

Some places are killing the web interface entirely and going app-only.

As very often is said: vote with your wallet and avoid those (assuming it's important to you).

Not with that attitude!

Get either your political ass to demand that in your country banks support more than just two OSes, or your coding ass so that you can get into programming work pipeline and one day code the Flatpak for your bank. Either would benefit you and everyone else.
