Afiak, they are still leaving in the ADB option to install non-Google apps, for now.

    People who don’t own a PC at home are morons. To believe that they wouldn’t use it for anything except flashing a custom ROM on a device is pure hyperbole.

      OK, what exactly does an average person need a computer for that cannot be adequately done on a phone? Because I do have a few relatives with computers that just gather dust permanently returned off, and they don’t seem to mind.

        Watch movies/shows/YouTube, gaming or pursue virtually any hobby: from photo editing to video production/editing to music production to creative or nonfiction/essay writing to programming to reading to research to studying.

        Basically anything at all?

        Idk bout you but the Phone is for phone calls and occasionally - IM.

        To create instead of consume. Mobile phone users are all tiktok brains who don’t have more than an ounce of attention and have lost the ability to create things. I know to someone who only consumes consumes consumes, that this would be a really alien concept, but PCs are there for creating things. They also do everything far more effectively than a mobile phone ever would.
