How different is it in essence from checking boxes to be scanned by a machine and auto-evaluated to get a one dimention numerical score ? Have exams ever been about humanity and the optics of it ?

Yes. I meant it more as "can't _just_", we can do it but need to account for serious ramifications in doing so at scale.

From the bbc article, the number of fraud rose 12%, and you're presuming 0.0001% would be using F-Droid. Is preventing that an efficient ("reasonable") action from the bank ?
