It's an unintended side effect that the majority of custom ROM users will appreciate.

Firefox being the first and only browser on Android enforcing Google play integrity verification wasn't on my bingo card

I'm not gonna go back and forth with you in this one. It doesn't look like you've kept up with this, or been around long enough to see that the exact same strategy has happened several times. It isn't a new strategy. It's one tried and true. You'll see for yourself within 3 years time.

    I mean, like I said, chinese models are nearly just as capable and they will forever be substantially cheaper simply because anybody with a server can run them. So your logic just doesn't pan out. Unless America can maintain a sufficient advantage in the technological capabilities, hopefully that doesn't happen.

    I already agreed with you that Americans will raise prices in newer models (not old ones), but it doesn't really matter if the competition is almost as good and 100x cheaper.
