They’re claiming it security authentication.
Realistically, it’s keeping people in their walled garden.
You can use a web browser on a Linux computer and get right through, this change is to force people to only run latest generation google products.
This would also block people from using real google phones over a certain age where they cannot upgrade the OS anymore.

Realistically, it’s keeping people in their walled garden. I felt for a long time, “trusted computing” is such a doublespeak term. It gets avg ppl to think “Oh ofc i want to trust my device! Who wouldn’t want that?” Ofc what it really does, is gives BigTech the final control over everybody’s dev.
