I'm curious, which Google product must you use that has no reasonable analog from a different vendor?
I'm not being snarky here just a little confused.
I suppose Android could fall into that definition, although LineageOS[0]+MicroG[1] do provide a reasonable alternative.
My question isn't rhetorical. I'm genuinely not familiar with any Google product without a reasonable alternative.

And not just because of Google's market power. It's also because the quality of search results have dropped enormously. At this point, other search engines are at least as good, IMHO.
