I'm sick of having my shit be locked down because of "security".

Do these people even know tech illiterate people? They couldn't enable ADB even with instructions.

Looks like some developer just suggested an idea. Doesn’t seem concrete.

IIRC Google never originally intended for Wireless ADB to be used by the very same device, as it skirts the intended app permission model even if it takes many steps to opt in.

This is about control, not security. As in, Google's control over your device, your experience, your features and choices. This and Google just isn't interested in supporting an open OS anymore. Maybe they think it makes them liable.

Either way the writing is on the wall, and has been for a while.

Can they ruin it faster i am sick of it already. Need to root the phone to get basic functionality, i need like 6-7 magisk modules to do basic things. I can't access file system on device i paid 250$. I have to use adb to change basic things, i rather use symbian.

Symbian pioneered this bullshit. Having to sign apps with Nokia keys just to install them was a thing since the days of S60. And it all went downhill from there.

It doesn't get better even if you pay 2500$, which is extra silly.

Would rooted phones still be game? I am fearful as this ruins all of my home built AI apps

Do you want your smart TV to become a persistent access point to your home network? If not, you should prefer to have an explicit unbypassable confirmation before another device is allowed to install arbitrary apps on it and pregrant them arbitrary permissions.

I'm so done with Android and iOS. I already carry around 2 phones because neither will give me exactly what I want, maybe it's time for a 3rd running Linux..?

Linux phone is already a thing that exists and is at a point where it can be used by tech illiterate people within the confines of what is possible normally.

It's just that few people bother using it. But that number might increase if Android continues it's war against its users.

Increasing constraints will turn people into marionettes.

In this scenario, it means shutting off more possibilities.
