The one thing I wish google never did was introduce SafetyNet without enabling us a way to essentially say "I modified my own phone, so let me use my damn banking and tap-to-pay apps without issue" and reenable it.
In fact they've actively made safetynet more invasive by adding CTS profile matching alsongside basic attestation, with a system for telling what phones are compatible with the new profile matching so you can't force disable it.
If they never added that I could've bypassed basic attestation and gotten google wallet back. But no. The most I can get back is banking and Pokemon GO. But there's still a risk one of them will decide to use CTS and therefore making it impossible to use that app on my current phone, all in the name of "security"
It's my phone, stop trying to smother my attempts to do what I want with it!
