I have seen these kind of BS for years on HN now (admittedly most of them from Google). I have decoupled from all those big companies so they can't literally destroy me. I use some of their service but it would be of no consequence if they banned me (YouTube account for example).

For me it's not a problem I'm the sole user of the apps I made and I use a GrapheneOS phone without Google Play) but it's an unusual setup.
