    I’m inclined to think that’s not the job of an OS vendor to prevent. Sure, put a warning label on it, but it’s the user’s device; once they say they know what they’re doing, that should be that.

      The implication here is, if they implement this, is that they volunteer to assume liability, should e.g., your bank account be drained despite undergoing their forced strict lockdown on paid and owned devices.

      Fat chance, because laws are meaningless to crime syndicates

        It might be a reasonable trade for users to make if Google assumed liability. In fact, that would be an interesting way to implement laws to discourage practices like these.
