This is so stupid. At this rate I will have to consider Linux powered phones before switching phones in the future.
Needing to wait and follow so many tedious steps to install apps I want, ugh.
This was how xiaomi started to limit bootloader unlocking to the current 3 months wait model.
There's also a video by a google person in the mastodon toot saying how this is a positive change.
