And how exactly did attestation help there?
Securing apps from the user does not secure the user from malware.
Now you can't bundle malware deep within the system "ROM" unless you want to break SafetyNet's attestation. It's a big change in that aspect.
Custom ROMs tell you that this is not true at all.
Custom ROMs no longer pass SafetyNet attestation, which apps such as banking ones (or streaming service ones) check.
I hope you mean Play Integrity, since there is no SafetyNet attestation anymore. And for that: https://github.com/osm0sis/PlayIntegrityFork
But there were similar things for SafetyNet attestation until it existed.
Product rebrandings are kinda irrelevant.
Your link nicely says "as a general rule you can't use values from recent devices due to them only being allowed with full hardware backed attestation". These attestation workarounds have been rendered increasingly obsolete.
