What happened to the interest in rooting from developers?
Is it because every phone has its own security systems that need seperate exploits? Did the interest fade? Or does a rooted OS simply not give you anything worthwhile anymore?
I have seen that the recent huawei p30 cannot be rooted yet. So did i find the oppo find X of a year old cant be rooted. What happened in the scene of custom roms, hacking and tweaking these phones? Why are they pretty much abandoned?

People are telling me an e/mobile wallet is all that. Is It?
Some say it is the best thing since sliced bread. I don't have one is it because I'm old (47) or am I right this thing is gonna pass by like many of these failed attempts at taking over a normal boarding pass/festival ticket etc.
I'm in the coupon/loyalty card business. Do we need to create those for these mobile wallet things or are we fine without It?
What say you my fellow Redditers?...
