 My complaint is that almost all apps presume the user will always sign everything, and they usually crash or are buggy when the user does not give the app access to everything 
 this is because most front end app devs have ZERO understanding of cryptography, not even the distinction between actual encryption and signing

the media has not helped this at all, by calling signatures "asymmetric encryption" bullshit. the encryption requires you to do a little computation but signatures are not encryption they are authentication, really big difference 
 That's a corollary for sure
