One of my banking apps didn't even run if I had accessibility settings turned on. I've since closed my account with them, just because of that.

The amount of control we've given corporations over our computers is incredibly disappointing.

Was this in EU/US? This sure has to break some disability act to discriminate visually imparied in such way.

It was in Moldova. Probably illegal there too if someone bothered to challenge it. I just downloaded it again, still won't work.

It is interesting that most of these are coming from apps outside the US including the fully developer mode lock outs. US companies seem more comfortable with the mode being enabled which explains why I've never really run into issues with having it turned on.
