It isn't being done behind-the-back of proxy operators.

It's one more revenue stream to be able to remote control real android phones to pass device attestation checks etc.

It's marketed to users with phrases like "earn money from your phone whilst you sleep".

Ok, that makes more sense. Hooray for stuff getting even worse...

Remote attestation itself being a questionable idea at best, so it's bad things creating a market for even worse workarounds.
