Legally, yes. Technically one always has to assume that companies have the ability to delete your accounts / data, why wouldn't they be able to do that? In larger systems it might be complicated and not every employee would have the permissions to do so, but certainly not impossible. Having your chatbot suggest that this is not the case is just not true.

> Categories play an important role in helping users browse the repository, so we’ve expanded and refined them significantly

Are people actively using F-Droid categories to find new apps? I don't think I know anyone who does, and I've only ever used the search functionality.

Funnily koreader comes with a lot of features that are useless to me, but I love that I can just disable the respective plugins.

For most app ads it's enough to set a DoT or DoH in the system that blocks ad domains. Android supports this with a settings menu entry, on Apple one needs a more "technical" solution I think (loading some XML?). Most VPN apps also support DNS enforcement.

Apps like YouTube are an exception, but there are other ways around that on Android.

> Will the sandboxed google play permit banking apps to work using TPM and secured credentials?

Apps that don't work don't fail due to technical reasons but because upstream says so, i.e. Google Wallet. My banking app works just fine.

Yes.

GOS doesn't support root by itself since they deem it a security risk, but it's possible.

AFAIK you can verify the integrity of an existing GrapheneOS installation.

Let's be honest, if we are talking about UX for the average user the koreader UI has a long way to go in general.

Wouldn't such a gate imply that an unlimited amount of entities would arrive at the time of the gate?

There have been incidents where governments disabled routing to specific services or the Internet entirely to hinder demonstrations.
