Is that what you were trying to say? If that's the case, I'm happy to report that you are misinformed: they have worked around that. Termux works flawlessly on my Android 14 phone.

Only because it's built against a previous API version which later versions of Android deign to support for now. Eventually it will pop up a scary "This app was built for an earlier version of Android and may not work properly" box; a short time later it will stop working altogether.
Android should really just go the "curated app store" route like Apple.

I'll buy an iPhone if Android goes down that path. If I must be in some walled garden, I'll choose the better kept garden.
Remote attestation is bad enough but breaking Termux will be the last straw for me.
