Just to be clear, I don't think security improvements like this are the problem, they're genuinely welcome and appreciated. The problem is when this technology is weaponized against us by removing the escape hatches to stifle our freedoms, but that's a separate independent decision.

GrapheneOS makes similar security improvements, but it doesn't lock the escape hatches or stifle our freedoms. I could still root my device if I wanted to (although this is not recommended) and I can turn exploit protections off and customize the level of enforcement in detail, per-app, if I want/need to.
