Have you ever unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rooted ROM on Android, which is what the original author requires?
I have. For most vendors, it involves putzing around with adb commands in a terminal and copying image files around. GrapheneOS is the most user-friendly, thanks to a WebUSB installer that holds your hand - but it still involves hitting key combinations in the recovery screen and other scary stuff.
Even for that best-case scenario, unlocking your phone always involves a factory reset, which wipes all your apps and data.
The idea that Epic and Meta will quit the official store and ask their users to go through that process is hilarious.
