Last summer I had to travel to South Korea for business, I was required to install a government app due to covid. Obviously this app was only for android and iOS. I had an iphone so i didnt have issues. But if i had a pinephone, i probably would had to board the next plane out of the country.

Crazy how our lives are becoming so dependent on private company techs.



Same thing for Japan. For Android it's also only available on the Play Store which requires you to have a Google account.
