I indeed said "locking down everyone (...) to only Google-depended method"
It is a permanent limitation until it's resolved by the vendor, isn't?
You are phrasing it like it was untrue that on non-Google Androids it will work.
It's false - it will not, until it's fixed (changed).
They CAN add the alternative methods later but until they added they're not there.
So it's a permanent failure until (not unless) until it's resolved by either removing the hard dependency on Google Play Integrity or adding alternative attestation methods.
And your last comment about FDroid is a little bizarre to be honest - if it's meant to be available it must be on the Google Play too.
I was just objecting the suggestion that ADDING alternative methods of attestation somehow precludes devs from using Google play integrity as well.
What’s a temporary failure then for you, I’m curious? Everything is permanent, following your definition.
You didn’t answer my question. I don’t understand what you are suggesting. You want them to do AOSP at the same time rather than afterward? You simply disagree with they prioritisation? They stop using words like lockdown, it’s misleading. Say “I wish they had included AOSP support in the initial release” then everyone understand what you want.
