Google has banned many accounts of genuine users.
What is your fallback for such an important vital service?
To play the devil’s advocate here: MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY on Android doesn’t require a Google account AFAIK. But it might change, of course.
Edit: but as pointed out elsewhere in the thread, Play Integrity is not the only way to do hardware attestation on Android. GrapheneOS devs have a guide: https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-gu...
So avoiding proprietary Google stuff altogether is possible and we should encourage it.
How do you propose running Google play checks on the phone without working Google play? :)
I don't think it's possible. And indeed, avoiding is possible and better, but the companies choose lie of play store "integrity".
