What I find most annoying aspect of all software from 2010s onwards is this stupid discourse and associated results:

- some people want A, or A might even be already in use

- A is problematic for $MODERATE_OR_MILD_REASON

- B is introduced and made default

- a config switch between A and B is never considered

So, so tiring. If I want to bind ADB to localhost, _let me_. It's my device and my problem, ffs.

Toxic max security.

Not everyone has the same threat model as you, $BIGTECHCORP.

Isn't security just an excuse to push user hostile features?

Like, if security was a concern we would have simpler systems and still use 2fa devices for banks etc.

It's not even "max security". We are talking about those big tech corps which are infamous for sharing all of your private information with the government, and analyzing it so as to manipulate you in to buying things, and possibly for other obscure commercial purpuses.

>a config switch between A and B is never considered

And why should modern corpo maintain additional complexity to pander to 1% of privacy-aware tech-savvy users?

In case it is made private.

Of course this was bound to happen, next you're telling me people will be surprised that the 24 hour limit for side loading will turn into some indefinite time period.

This assumes user is the only person with physical access to unlocked phone.

All sorts of goverment agencies, airport security, even teachers now have access. And such attacks can be trivially automated, so even low paid worker can do it.

adb connecting a device to itself is just bad design and a hack. Either the capabilities should just be granted directly to the app or it should all be blocked.
