I'm have very negative outlook on Apple with their vendor lock-in and walled garden, but how long do you think Google will let you make this choice if they gonna have no competition at all?
Google was slowly making Android less and less open with every release. Now "security" features like SafetyNet decide whatever you're allowed to use software or not.
Think on it! Just look at what Google doing with web because of their monopoly on search and browser markets.

I recommend installing LineageOS or any other alternative ROM. Google might have a monopoly on the web, but at least they have given us tools to work around it, unlike Apple.
