I’d argue as a transitional device / threaten the shit out of Google.
In the mean time, governments that still function should fine Google for purposely generating millions of eWaste devices in software.
Maybe they’ll correct, maybe not, but in the mean time, one can spend the time on iOS to pare back what they do on a phone, with the end goal of ending up on a dumbphone/home brewed/linux/alt phone that will then be available.
Some really sweet simple phones like light phone, keyphone, minimal phone, punk mp02 and more already.
Oh cool, looks like my next phone is going to be an apple huh…
Minimal apps, heavily browser reliant, and android can go fuck itself.
Out of the frying pan into the fire…
You realize Apple is already the same way, right? You have to jailbreak them to install anything outside of the app store.
I would say maybe the user is in the EU but apparently apple can still pull sideloaded apps in the EU so what’s the damn point of the DMA, Europe?
My man, I get the sentiment, but as someone who regularly has to do work on an apple for my fiancee, it’s still not worth it.

If enough people do it, Google could be more likely to revert the change. The only thing Google loves is money, so take that away.
