It is a different skillset. SRE is also an under-valued/paid (unless one is in FAANGO).
Another point is (often )the apps that banks makes are 3rd party developed by outsourcing (even if within the same developed country). If someone uses some MiTM or logcat to see some traffic and publishes it then banks get bad publicity. So to prevent this the banks, devs tell anything that is not normal (i.e) non-stock ROM is bad.
FOSS is also something many app-based software devs don't like on their products. While people in cloud, infra like it the app devs like these tools while developing or building a company but not when making end resulting apps.
It would but how and who to run it? Ideally some one like Linux Foundation sits on the White house meetings or EU meetings. But they don't. Govts don't understand. I was once participating in a Youth meeting with MEPs - most of them have only iPhones. Most (not all) lawmakers live on a different planet.
Also IIRC, linux foundation etc are not interested in doing such standardisations.
Insinuation? As a sw dev they don't have any agency over whether or by whom they get acquired. Their decision will be whether to leave if it's changing to the worse, and that's very much understandable (and arguably the ethical thing to do).
No, but I can promise to my current employer that me leaving my job won’t be a critical problem.
It’s less of an issue in the case of a normal job than in an open source project where often the commitment of particular founding individuals to the long-term future of the project is a big part of people’s decision to use or not use that tech in their solutions. Here, given that “Trusted computing” can potentially lock you out of devices you have bought, it’s important for people to be able to judge the risk of getting “legal ransomware”d if the trusted computing base ends up depending on a proprietary component that they can’t back out of.
That said, there is absolutely zero chance that I use this (systemd is already enough Poettering software for me in this lifetime) so I’m not personally affected either way.
