Here are some of the concern I have voiced for your inspiration:

- Privacy concerns: Risk of government/company overreach eroding online/offline privacy.
- Second-class citizens: Services may favor digital wallet users, marginalizing non-users.
- Dependence on foreign companies: Worry about exclusion of non-Google/Apple platforms (e.g., GrapheneOS, LineageOS, /e/).
- Lockout of specific Android users: Exclusion via Google Play Store/Integrity API requirements.
