Terence Eden (posted #2023/05/28 ) on the question if an app provider does have a say on being willing to run their code on your device, in contrast me being in control of a device and determining which code to run there or not. In this case a bank that would disallow their app on a rooted phone, because of risk profiles attached to that. Interesting tension: my risk assessment, control over general computation devices versus a service provider for which their software is a conduit and their risk assessments. I suspect the issue underneath this is such tensions need to be a conversation or negotiation to resolve, but in practice it's a dictate by one party based on a power differential (the bank controls your money, so they can set demands for your device, because you will need to keep access to your account.)
