> In other words, there aren't many banks that let you take sensitive actions with just a browser and that's been true since the start of online banking.

"Browser and TAN list" is equivalent to "Browser and app". A browser can't be used in isolation, there is and was always some second factor required for online banking, but a banking app can be used in isolation.

No. The TAN list does not prevent you from removing Play Services from your device.
