    The process is designed to create friction. Users must first enable developer mode in system settings. They then need to confirm that they’re not being coerced. After that, they need to restart their phone and reauthenticate. And then they need to wait one day.

    Waiting one day is totally unreasonable. However, I don’t mind turning it on in developer settings.

      The slippery on that slope is there are already banking and government apps that refuse to work if your phone has enabled developer options.
