Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass. (www.androidauthority.com)

Seriously, what is wrong with Google?

Too big and entrenched

Google is doing this because they have incentives to do so. They want to block malicious actors like attack their platforms.

Other companies want to lock down their own apps because they don't think users should be permitted to do anything other than use their apps exactly as they want.

I don't like it as a user, but I also see the reason why companies want this by being on the security side of software.
