If you really want to, atleast on a pixel phone you could unlock your bootloader and put 3rd part open source OS like Graphene OS, Lineage OS or Heck even an AO

  That’s what I did before my iPhone. Most apps that work with self-hosted services kinda suck. The AOSP mail and calendar apps haven’t been refreshed in years since Google changed the default to Gmail and Google Calendar. On iOS I get a nice email client and calendar that is integrated complete with on device AI that finds events in my inbox and adds them to the calendar so I don’t forget. There’s a bunch of neat little things like that you get on Android if you use Google, but you can get on iOS with any server backend. I hope Apple opens up a bit because there really needs to be serious competition in this space.
