Samsung has a legitimate reason to block Bixby button remapping, whether we like it or not

Those aren't legitimate reasons imo. Apart from Bixby being useless, I keep hitting the button by mistake and it is really annoying me.

Tried Bixby again after voice became available and still can't do it. Already disabled again thru bk package disabler. I kept hitting it by mistake too. Way better being disabled completely

I've not decided yet what I'm going to do about bixby. Now that it has voice commands I wonder if it's good enough to handle texting by voice if driving or even in general taking voice commands good enough to do that. I've tried it once using bixby voice to look up my S8's market value. At first I liked it bc she was actually reading me an article then a call came through interrupted her and when I went back to do the same search all I got was recommended sites to research and read myself. If I can get bixby to read me certain articles then yes indeed I'll use it but ever since that call I got interrupted my initial use with her reading me off a long paragraph it's yet to do that again. I'll try it out a couple more times before I totally kill it off but I'm highly bothered every time I press the button by mistake then have to press it again to close it back down. That does bite on ones nerves.
