I use a pixel phone with my own signing keys and I find it very useful. I can live without SafetyNet, whatever that is.

It basically allows you running most banking apps (and anything that is related to money).

Where I live, both of my banking apps work without SafetyNet and even Google Play Services. I have missed one or another app for having no Play Services, but nothing too important and it's offset by having the option to block all internet connection for other apps.
