TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Dude there's millions of lines of code and thousands of hours per year that keep old windows shit running. It's a nightmare to support that. Microsoft has made that a priority and you can easily argue it shouldn't be, but you seem convinced that's the only valid path. It's not.
