> If it's a government app, you can pressure the government in many more way than you can let's say a bank
Many more, like?
For an individual, almost none. I can boycott a bank (if it's not a government one), I can't boycott my own government, only leave.
An organization can start an initiative, but without an interested party involved it's only an initiative, you can hardly call it "pressure".
You can't boycott a bank, they all do the same shit and you need to have one.
With a government, however, you can go through your MPs, use administrative procedures to lodge complaints, etc. They also don't have Visa/Mastercard forcing them into attestation, it's usually just because the contractor thought it made things More Secure™.
