The landscape is grim and thats a real shame.

I searched around and the best I could do is still use Google hardware but use grapheneOS, which has a bunch of refreshing places where they actively design stuff to limit Google. It sucks that as you say its not accessible to pretty much everyone. Doing any meaningful degoogling is an unbelievably time and labor intensive process (that has taken me a year and counting of concerted shifting). Idk what it takes to run a cell manufacturing company but goddamn it if it takes allegiance to Google, I thought they were gonna be the Good Ones.

We have to make these systems for each other, no way we can just individually work our way out of surveillance capitalism.
