Pine64 should just try to get money from the capital markets and charge for the service. It's so stupid I have a new iPhone 12 Pro Max and also a PinePhone but I just decided to buy the former because I just don't have the capability to use the PinePhone realistically with all the services I pay for and use day to day. I don't have the time to devote my time to an ecosystem either, which... I'm sorry but it's true.
Apple was objectively better than Google until they decided to start spying on my pics with an algo that has a terrible false positive rate, all the while after basically forcing you via war of attrition to comply with the constant ++ beyond annoying popups compelling you to use iCloud.
Literally just create an alternative. The other potential competitor who made Essential (Andy Rubin iirc?) literally just gave up after 3 quarters - I guess he would know how to pull out of a project after getting ingested by Google twice in a row.
The ecosystem is a joke. I hope the FTC destroys Apple over the App Store literally just to spite them for this dark move but I'm not optimistic.
