I could say that open source apps — like the ones in f-droid — don't present the same amount of dark patterns that closed source proprietary apps do. But I agree, getting rid of google's proprietary apps doesn't necessarily mean get rid of this attention/dopamine seeking world we find ourselves in. However, I think a great part of how uncomfortable it feels to know that there's a smart phone in your pocket is knowing that it's spying on you, and getting rid of google's crap means that your phone doesn't spy on you, at least not by default.
