> I will not bank with HSBC because their app will not work if you install things from outside the Google App store I have this requirement too, since I like to use F-Droid. My point isn't that there are no such users. My point is that product managers in banks don't care about F-Droid users, since there's so few of us that it's not worth them worrying about. Many websites are giving up Firefox support, and Firefox adoption is much higher than F-Droid. If a bank app happens to be okay with F-Droid, it's not because they look out for the needs of F-Droid, it's simply by happenstance.

Which is hugely damaging socially as it makes markets non-competitive. Its wrong in principle. > If a bank app happens to be okay with F-Droid, it's not because they look out for the needs of F-Droid, it's simply by happenstance Not true. They they have to make a deliberate choice to write an app that refuses to run if you have installed non-Google apps. It needs code written to run checks. It even lists the apps I have. > Many websites are giving up Firefox support, and Firefox adoption is much higher than F-Droid. Not hat I have noticed.
