It isn't "app data", it is my data! This is the straw that made me switch to LineageOS, my phone shouldn't prevent me from accessing my data!
Unless of course you want to pay Google money and even then arguably get a subpar backup experience.
Keep in mind that you have to unlock the device AND authorize USB debugging just to get adb backup to run.

I hope the SeedVault people are able to circumvent that. And I hope they are willing to try, as some open source developers for some reason consider Google's user-hostile security model decisions as sacrosanct.
I just wonder because that's all I ever used. Just straight up bypasses any BS the OS would throw... on the same device at least.
Just straight up reinstall everything on new machines or major OS version updates like I've been doing for nearly two decades.
Good time to reconsider a lot of apps, too.
Looks like you are right dude. Might as well start getting used to Lineage. I'll miss the oneplus camera apps though.
