I agree with what you’re saying, but all software is insecure and it should be up to the user what their risk tolerance is. Instead, users’ control of their equipment is whittled down and before long the only choice will be deal with it or don’t play. Pinephone comes to mind as a phone with root access that is somewhat secure, but it also has latent vulnerabilities that could be exploited as its version of sudo is also an attack vector. Everything is a trade off especially in software/tech.
Yes. And app developers/companies should in turn do the same. A banking app and a lemmy app probably don't have the same security requirements. Each needs to apply the appropriate security constraints, and if that means not allowing rooted decices that's fair imo.
