Good raise @00prometheus,
We have been developing long time both Sailfish OS (+10 years) and AppSupport (on C2 it’s Android 13 level) together with Sailfish Community – as we’re listening you carefully. We’ll continue this journey together with you – Sailfish Community. Regarding Android apps, we had very good discussion with Marvin Wißfeld during this year’s FOSDEM. Marvin is the maintainer of the microG. MicroG enables you many Android apps on top the AppSupport that you’d like to have. Target is that we get the microG available on the first time use sequence (aka Startup Wizard) to ease the setup – surely we do not force it, it is your call and you will have a chance to use Sailfish OS only apps.
AppSupport enables you most of your favourite apps that are not available as native Sailfish OS apps. Like me, I’m disconnected from Google and others on my Jolla C2. It’s my (ours) data and my content. We are not tracking you when you’re walking / travelling / etc and using GPS for example. We’re not collecting your data – it’s yours. That’s how it should be.
Sailfish OS does not have textual interface, I think you knew that and you were not referring to that, but Sailfish OS has a smooth gesture driven user interface. Once you get those gestures into your muscle memory it might be hard to go elsewhere 
. At the same time, you have complete control of your device. If you wish, you can enable developer mode and do whatever quirks you like to. It’s your device!
I (we as Jolla) do respect our values ‘do it together’, ‘community’, ‘respect’ and ‘love’ and I do live & work accordingly. Let’s do it together! This community rocks – you all do!
PS. Finnish OP bank replied to me recently and they are looking into that OP bank AppSupport issue.
Cheers,
Raine from Jolla
