    could potentially lose certification of the entire android ecosystem

    Certification by whom?

    The Netflix app is older (2011) than Safetynet (2014?). Google probably didn’t need to provide remote attestation, but making non-Google Android unusable for most people is good for their bottom line.

      Netflix being older is hardly relevant to this discussion.

      Maybe you’re unaware, but the higher quality streams are only available on devices netflix has certified. You can still use netflix on GrapheneOS but you won’t get that quality, it’ll be downgraded.

      This is a common problem for cheaper Chinese devices as well.
