We really need to move away from the idea that a user having control over his/her device is insecure.
I can use online banking and paypal with windows logged in as administrator or GNU/Linux logged in as root[0], why shouldn’t I be able to use google
walletpaywallet with root?[0] yes I know you shouldn’t log in as root, but that doesn’t change that you can do it.

I must be missing something. How would Google be at all liable for restoring funds stolen by software that they themselves didn’t furnish, on a device that’s out of their control?

As if that’s not already the case
I always disliked RCS, I kept telling people it’s a walled garden, mainly controlled by Google

The weird thing is that so many people are buying into the Google and Apple marketing on SMS being insecure.
If you’re on an unroooted smartphone running stock OS, nothing you do is secure
GraphineOS is more secure than the stock OS
Good standard you have there. Good features are proprietary to Google and you can’t use it while rooted.
Lmao
This is shitty, but genuinely I have no idea why people root or run custom ROMs these days. I haven’t found an actual use for it since about 2015
Edit: plenty have people have given me fair enough reasons now, thanks
You want an example? GrapheneOS, to take back my privacy.
I don’t get the RCS hype. I already have apps for rich messaging and RCS offers nothing for me over those apps. What I do appreciate is SMS, which is posed to be killed-off by RCS. I can rely on SMS even when there is no data signal, can’t say that for RCS. I wish I had a way to permanently disable RCS on my Pixel 6a, instead I have to keep rejecting the ‘upgrade to RCS’ dialog.

Every day I am attracted more and more by PinePhone. At least as a secondary device, at first.
Perhaps it’s not even close to polished yet with existing distributions, but at least it isn’t made to be shitty.
