WTF win? Sounds like I will need a tracking google account because it can "carry over" when I "upgrade my phone" "Google giving a concession" is no win.
WTF Concession? Why are we asking google for permission to use the devices we bought as they see fit?
Ok, google is doing what is best for them, abusing users. But the manufacturers are really to blame here because the devices are by default locked to what google and them decide. There is no Market Choice here.
Hopefully other vendors will adopt GrapheneOS like Motorola is prepared to.
Yeah, but then banks need to be pushed to support it. And while we're at it it would be good if people responsible for European eID also stopped recommending Google device attestation.
Graphene's policy is to work on one phone at a time. If other vendors want to support it they'll have to pay for the work to be done to Graphene standards, themselves.
