That would be cool to be able to run some apps in a sandbox on a PC just because it would be far easier to circumvent the increasingly intrusive data collection.

Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api grapheneos.org/…/attestation-compatibility-guide#… which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can’t run it same for waydroid.

It’s ridiculous, I reluctantly have a GrapheneOS phone and my bank was absolutely fine with it, but McDonalds refuses to sell me a cheeseburger.

I treat it mostly the same I treat games on linux, if your game doesn’t run, because of spyware-like DRM, looking at you EA, then I guess it’s not for me. Play integrity api is the same in that regard.
Had to switch my mom to a PWA for one of her apps though.
