There is a big difference between opt-in and opt-out that isn't semantics. You can't slowly discourage, deprecate and delete the default the way you can an opt-in, because too many people keep using it.

Yeah, I predict that "developer mode" will eventually be a setup option in the trust store, so you'd have reset the phone to get to it.

With billions of Android users, there's only millions of people who need or really want this. So like 1%. My point is stop thinking about your mom's windows box and consider the scale.

		This is based on a view of society that is incompatible with belief in democracy. If people overall can't be trusted to act responsibly and not follow complex sequences of steps dictated by scammers, what hope do they have to figure out who they should vote for? Liberty is responsibility. If you are permitted to cook your meal on your stove, you might burn yourself. It's an entirely different philosophy where the Big Brother or Dear Leader protects you from yourself and knows better what's good for you.
