Google doesn't want you to be able to skip YouTube ads. It's as simple as that.

More specifically apps and users have equal agency in the android security model. Which comes down to the fact that if you don't own the app you can't control its experience. This feels grounded to me. Push for more open source apps where you retain control and ownership.

  • No, I bought the device, I should be able to do whatever I want with it.

    • And app developers have the right to not offer their services to users who don't give them the security model they want.

      You are free to install a custom OS which provides you the security model you desire. You have choices.
