I'm pretty sure that custom roms will remove that 24hr wait period from their binaries. Android is still open source and removing a check isn't going to be very hard for them.

The tech ecosystem is as open as you can. Use linux. Use SearxNG. Use graphene or other custom roms. There's options out there, you just have to start adopting them instead of just complaining online about having no choice.

Not everybody has a choice. I'm currently on grapheneos, but it looks like I may be forced back to android due to national ID requirements.

I guess one solution to that is to have a second used or ultra low cost phone just for your personal ID and banking stuff. But then it's no longer really mobile lol.

AOSP is open source, android isn't
