"I personally haven't been affected despite using the capabilities of the system extensively, so its not a dealbreaker" isn't?



Sure, that follows and I agree that most people probably won't find it to be a dealbreaker. But your OP said it wasn't a problem in general. I would advise against ignoring it and treating it as a non-issue because more and more apps are adopting attestation. There is absolutely no guarantee that the apps you depend upon won't just suddenly start requiring attestation (and old versions likely will stop working, as forced updates have become very popular on Android).

If you're asking what the solution is, I'm not sure, but sticking your head in the sand isn't a great way to handle it. GrapheneOS thinks that suing Google might be the way to go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41119047
