I was about to buy two new Trezors, guess I'll pick some other HW wallet. Such a disappointment.

They just reversed course:

I don't think it's even remotely realistic to expect most folks to run TailsOS on an air-gapped computer. It's just not practical.

Those are the losers... This is life: winners and losers. Same was said few years ago: "normies will not be capable to run their own nodes". And look where we are today...

I don't even, what?
This reasoning isn't based in reality. There are obvious UX issues with running your own node. ESPECIALLY using something like TailsOS. We're not there, YET.

About AOPP integration.
Not supporting AOPP will lead to helping the government to fence people on exchanges, and our motivation to add direct support was exactly to keep the government from doing so. 1/
The message for signing is composed of information already available to the exchange. The address must be sent to the exchange to receive the coins. 2/
Without it, regular users can't get their bitcoins out of it. The governments prefer people to stay on KYC platforms, not run for self-custody. 3/
