> Banks and other financial services like to provide some form of insurance to users wrt. losing money in a security breach, and they can't do this unless the app really is being run on a pristine, locked-down platform.

This seems like a weird policy, though. I can access my bank via a web browser on a desktop computer, which is certainly not even remotely a "pristine, locked-down platform".

That even makes it weirder that a no-name Chinese phone with an unknown ROM is considered more secure than a stock LineageOS just because it's not unlocked...

Or an exploitable stock ROM (either due to slow updates or eol status after 6mo-2yrs)

Indeed, there's a LOT of cheap and outdated Android devices out there, even without talking about dodgy stock ROM.
