Sorry but thats a statement thats just willfully ignorant. Yes people need to have access to their financials when under way. That can range for PushTans, CreditCard Confirmations, to checking their budgets, moving something from one account to another, topping up your Prepaid Card. Or just being able to Pay with a Card on your Phone when you forgot your Wallet.

Sure you could say I do not go out and do not need that but realistically this is just how the world works now.

How about using cash for all of this? This has the added benefit of not enabling tracking by financial institutions in addition to tracking by Google, the phone OEM, and possibly other third parties.

I very purposefully added both the "and maybe you legit do" and the fact that I'm a bad case study.

But you can do all those things via a browser.
