The future Google and others have in mind will require remote attestation for access to media/banking/social media etc. This is part of the groundwork. See also TPM 2.0 requirements for Windows 11 and rapid deprecation of Windows 10.

It is reasonable to be concerned about what Google may do in the future. They have too much power. All the tech giants do.

However, I can only comment on what Google is actually proposing. In the future, Google could do anything, regardless of whether or not this Android API exists.

>rapid deprecation of Windows 10.

"rapid"? It's in line with their lifecycle policy when windows 10 came out.

When Windows 10 came out, the messaging was that its lifecycle was probably indefinite: https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-may-be-last-versio...

If you read carefully, that claim was made by a "developer evangelist" and was no way an official statement from Microsoft corporate itself.
