Yes but in the phone space the sacrifice is too much. You often times forgo the ability to even participate in many aspects of society, e.g. banking. It's not your typical "rough around the edges open source alternative", it's just not even a comparison.
Can’t you do banking on the web via your phone? Same as desktop users?
In some places, the bank website directs you to use the app, which then looks for things like whether the device is unlocked or rooted. Banks in these places refuse to trust web browsers.
I heard some banks don't have web sites, only apps.
Sounds like they are outliers. None of my banks are like this. Multiple countries and continents.
