The mildly infuriating part of this post is OP thinking that his consumer phone OS was made just for them and not millions of tech-illiterate people.

I would be okay with an off button in the developer options, hidden from those people

Then, the scam apps will just come with instructions to turn that feature off

Well sounds like they didn't go far enough then, they should cut all internet access so that users don't accidentally download malicious apps!

A user that wants full control of their own device should have that option available. There is no good reason Android makes it difficult to access its data folder for example for users that do want to mess around with that stuff.

I think there should be space for an i-know-what-im-doing. But I think we can all agree that limiting the damage that can be done to normal people who just want a device to do normal stuff on is a good thing.

This level of hyperbole isn't a useful discussion, and I would hope, would be left at reddit rather than infesting lemmy too.

Well for me it is not really that much of a hyperbole, I consider being able to access the files on your own device pretty much a necessity. Yes it is absolutely no problem that protections like this are enabled out of the box, but it should all be optional, even if that process is kind of difficult (disabling by connecting to a computer and doing some sort of configuration for example).

Maybe I'm just upset because an update recently broke Android/data access and forced me to look for a new workaround for 30 minutes (to access my own files on the device I supposedly own!)

You need to tap 7 times on a random UI element, deep down in a settings menu. There is no way any instructions could direct a non-techy to do that, even if the non-techy wanted to.

I was done when I saw all caps.
