    I read it as “This is a silly Android thing that I don’t have to deal with because I use custom roms”.

    I use Graphene and use this feature, but I can understand why it would seem silly to some people and I can think of use cases where you wouldn’t want it to happen (like using your phone as a security device with Haven (https://github.com/guardianproject/haven)) installed.

    Most Android users don’t understand the BFU/AFU states and the security implications, it is good that default android is including a sane security default that’ll be pushed out to the standard Android users.
