Now, I'm not opposed to having a locked down device when performing actions like using a bank app.

However, Google is abusing this, because they force their adware and spyware into that device, so I can't have a secure, locked down Android device without that.

But bank apps won't implement it because the market share isn't large enough. This is a great showcase of the issues with the new proposal as well.
