gollark: Probably someone at some point in the chain thought that "rooted = insecure" or something ridiculous like that.
gollark: Oh, and their app wouldn't run on my rooted phone (until I switched to Magisk), which is annoying of them.
gollark: My bank requires *8 to 16* character passwords. And, for their login, requires me to type in specific characters of said passwords, which basically requires writing it down or getting said characters on my computer, which *worsens* security.
gollark: I run Discord in Firefox and it still somehow manages to use hundreds of megabytes of RAM...
gollark: Or I just haven't been exposed to enough internet.
