Bank apps in India don't run on rooted phones, need developer mode and adb disabled. At the same time, their website works fine on Firefox on Linux where I can literally go through all their front-end source, attach and run debuggers.

What even is going on? Why are banks doing this security theatre when all their apps are doing is calling some backend apis?

I think most bank apps in the western world also refuse to run on rooted phones. To my pleasant surprise my banking app worked on GrapheneOS though.
