Still cool though!

(small nit: does "whom" even go there?)
They're protecting the TEE because they do not want third parties to be able to automate Google Pay through modified software. This isn't necessarily just about normal end users but more like smartphone farms.
Why do Transesophageal Echocardiograms[0] need protecting, and from whom do such diagnostics require protection?
I expect I'm missing something, but a web search for 'TEE' only returns that diagnostic test.[1]

[1] Moral: Don't assume everyone knows what a particular acronym means. Just because it's in your head doesn't mean everyone else knows what you mean.[2] E.g., if I say 'JRE' I mean 'Java Runtime Environment' and not 'Joe Rogan Experience'.

To me, your comment comes across as having a rude and insulting tone.
I think the person you were replying to read it in a similar tone to me based on their response. ("No need to be patronizing.")
Is that the tone you intended?
A better way of handling it may have been with a simple, "What does TEE mean in this context please? Googling it didn't help me."
I'm asking the question rather than assuming it was intentional, as you put more effort into your comment than is necessary to just be rude.
It feels like you may have been trying to be helpful and just misjudged the tone. Maybe as a fellow neurodivergent person.
That said, thank you for your thoughts on this. I'm glad you shared them. Good on you.
That said, I don't need you (or anyone else, for that matter) to tell me how I should or shouldn't interact with others -- as that's incredibly condescending (and incredibly rude as well) and makes a number of unwarranted (as I mentioned) assumptions.
Again, thanks for your thoughts. I'll give them the attention they deserve.
