> banks and other "regulated" sectors use Google Play Protect and similar DRMs to prevent you from connecting from whatever device you want.

This totally sucks but is there anything preventing you from using your bank's website in-browser in your phone, other than the terrible UI, tiny text, and inability to select the correct checkbox?

Yes. The 2FA via either biometrics or some other means requires us to have the bank's own app - even in small local branches - where said app is only available through one of the app stores. Context: I live in an 11th century, 200 inhabitants, no infrastructure village with one bakery and one bank which is actually only a small office of a rural cooperation.
