A few days ago we brought you word that Google was looking to crack down on “sideloaded” Android applications. That is, software packages installed from outside of the mobile operating …

In my comment above I mentioned that some banks are App-only, you cannot access your funds though the website.
You can switch banks you know, it’s not convenient but easier than switching your email.
You’re forced to use that bank?
No, but switching banks just because I want to be a part of “the resistance”, against google is pretty delusional.

And even if you have a use case where you do literally rely on a Google service, you can still make steps to cut out all other Google services.
Refusal to at least try is, of course, your prerogative. But it’s tacit approval of their actions.
