The goal is to normalize the usage of alternative OS. The moment you find workarounds and not question, you accept their position and eventually you'll run out of workarounds.

'you can still do X through Y, they are not removing it' is a popular and often the top reply on posts related to companies tightening their walled gardens. It gives an immediate solution to the problem but it doesn't address the core issue. I wish that wasn't the case.

Maybe the whole age verification push will change that discussion, if suddenly requests for entire categories of services have to be funneled through a small number of age verification providers that intentionally try to block alternative OSes.

The discussion might have been mostly theoretical before, but it sure isn't anymore...

Sue whoever blocked your device. I was about to consider it for my bank but an update enabled Graphene. Now it thinks my other phone is insecure and won't let me log in on that one, heh.
