Banking apps run in Android emulation layers on GNU/Linux. Your bank doesn't need to support Linux phones.

You said, as part of this discussion, before asking your question:

Except married couples get legal benefits that actually matter in reality that same-sex couples don't get. So its not a strawman.

Why did you state that married couples get benefits that same-sex couples don't get if you didn't know what you were saying was true?

Programmers and engineers do get to see inside, and they know exactly how a computers works.

They understand how computers work but not how neural nets produce the outputs they do. Ten seconds searching the web:

it's just a Chinese Room

Searle was wrong.

"The argument, to be clear, is not about whether a machine can be conscious, but about whether it (or anything else for that matter) can be shown to be conscious. It is plain that any other method of probing the occupant of a Chinese room has the same difficulties in principle as exchanging questions and answers in Chinese. It is simply not possible to divine whether a conscious agency or some clever simulation inhabits the room." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room#Consciousness

Edit: interesting quote from elsewhere on that page:

'The sheer volume of the literature that has grown up around it inspired Pat Hayes to comment that the field of cognitive science ought to be redefined as "the ongoing research program of showing Searle's Chinese Room Argument to be false".' -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room#History

From you. It was your money but then after you give it to them, it's their money.

the firmware of the CPU

AFAIK, there aren't any mobile CPUs with microcode like Intel CPUs.

and associated hardware

Rockchip RK3399 is the best you can get from my understanding. The newer Rockchip RK3588 requires a non-free blob for the GPU unfortunately.
