but you are missing out that the solution is to keep making it inconvenient to let people use linux and other kinds of custom devices
eventually either nobody will use that, or they'll just jump the shark and outlaw such things
I know that for example in Canada, because taxes, ALL restaurants are (were?) FORCED to use a specific sets of devices else they're branded as tax-avoiders and dealt with accordingly
I've already had trouble using banking stuff under linux, I have had to cancel some cards because they became useless without a smartphone app (the real punchline is that I got a new card that's only works on a smartphone. but at least it was like this when I signed up; they didn't change how it works under my feet)
