Doesn't "Magisk" alleviate a lot of that? Except for I believe Netflix and its Widevine bullshit

To test this out I installed apps from 3 of the largest banks on a Nexus 5 running Lineage OS 20 (Android 13 - yes a 9 year old phone with 2GB of RAM running Android 13 very well) with a minimum install of Google Play Services. 1 app said I was running a modified version of Android, but let me proceed to log in. The other 2 let me log in immediately with no warning message.
So, say your phone has old Android version x. You're fine until a security hole shows up, or your banking app says "Our app needs Android version x+1. Please update your phone.". Oops, not offered by phone. Install a custom ROM. Banking app says "This device is not certified and for your own security, we refuse to run on this phone."...
