I believe a partial solution will come from chinese companies. They constantly push shit appstores with their phones, so I think their ROMs will come with this verification disabled.
- Any phone manufacturer that doesn’t allow bootloader unlocking should burn in hell
- Any phone manufacturer that doesn’t publish the kernel source should burn in hell (and financial ruin, because that’s illegal)
The so called “geeks” will continue to use alternative ROMs, but the same is true for Apple. You can jailbreak it. I have a jailbroken IPad that is still almost unusable. Not because I can’t install apps on it, but because nobody distributes these apps outside of the appstore
