This is what I fear will happen to GOS on Motos. Google decides to mark them as rooted so buh-bye banking apps and others that require a "secure" os.

    Except they're not rooted - GOS devs don't even approve of root usage

    It doesn't matter if they are or not. Google can deem them modified or not secure devices and they can do fuck all about it.

    The difference being that Motorola is a well established device manufacturer and not just a community project with minimal funding. Google using play integrity to exclude a competitor could be very easily seen as an abuse of market power and they already have problems with antitrust laws.

    Always has been.

    Banking on a phone is insecure, and this is one reason. Never use banking on mobile.
