Nice read.

The entire smartphone ecosystem is designed to be used almost exclusively through Google or iOS services: government apps, banking apps, prepaid health-insurance apps, and countless other examples. Even though a phone is a handheld computer, it's far from being a computer in the sense of giving users real control over the software they run.

That's for me one of the biggest problem.
