I couldn't agree more. People are like, "Oh I would totally use an alternative phone/OS and/or degoogle.. but mah baaanking app!! I shall give up all security, privacy and lick corporate boots for my baaanking app!"
I have accounts with nearly a dozen banks. I have zero banking apps on my phone. It's had zero impact on my life. Chase Bank needed a phone call to switch 2FA to another method. That was it. My phone's browser works fine.
YMMV in other countries.
