Google’s only providing the option, it’s up to individual devs to enable it on their app. If the app developer has chosen to block sideloading, then they probably have a reason for going out of their way to do so. Whatever you find that reason to be should inform your decision whether or not to continue using their app.
Their reasons mean nothing. It’s my device. I shouldn’t have to worry about an application installed on my device being policed because the developer got a hair up their ass about people downgrading.
The phrase “more secure” is becoming meaningless as it keeps being used as a blanket excuse for literally every user hostile change.
Just because they haven’t told you about the requirements doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They probably don’t support custom ROMs and they didn’t tell you because they just assumed you’re running the OS that came with the phone.
yeah take it up with a blackholed email address, while being locked away from public transport and a lot of otherbasic services that’s literally needed for life, for saying hard no to literal malware on my phone? I think you’re a little backwards.
Explain to me what would be the good reasons McDonald’s has to block their app from running on a rooted device because it doesn’t pass SafetyNet or whatever Google is calling it now

Sure, it’s your device. But it’s their app. Ultimately, it’s the developer’s call to make. You don’t have to use their app.
unless you are forced to use it, by government, employer, or such
Well then you know where to install it from.
from google play? on my degoogled phone?
Sounds like you’re using a phone that doesn’t meet the requirements specified by your employer. Might I suggest asking them for a company phone?
my employers have never specified any requirements for my phone, sorry but wtf is that?
Just because they haven’t told you about the requirements doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They probably don’t support custom ROMs and they didn’t tell you because they just assumed you’re running the OS that came with the phone.
Sounds like the app developer does not want to support you as a user. You should take it up with devs that do this if that’s a concern.

We can still use their app with a little help from my reverse engineering tools.
Hopefully they don’t do online attestation
Cool, sounds like it ain’t a problem for you then. As I imagine it’s not a problem for most people.

Because it is spyware?
Why would I explain something that has nothing to do with this discussion? This has nothing to do with rooted devices.
