I've never heard a better rationale for not using Apple products or a "Googled" Android device[0].
That it's even possible for Apple/Google Play to do something like that (although I'm not so sure they'd do so -- and I'm not so sure they could be forced to either -- but IANAL) is horrific overreach and definitely reason for stabbing people in the eye[3]
I own my device. I paid for it. It is mine.
I will put whatever the hell I want on it.
[0] LineageOS[1] with F-Droid[2]?

[3] I'm being (mostly) metaphorical here.
- wanderingmind 4y agoI suggest microg+lineageos with FDroid and Aurora, for the reason many apps need google play services to function
- nailer 4y agoSorry. General purpose computing is legacy tech now - even your desktop has a second OS install (Minix inside IME) that you don’t have access to. RMS was right, but nobody listened.
