I dislike Android because of Google. I dislike IPhone because it's too expensive and too closed and locked. What choice do I still have if I want to also run some of the most popular apps?

Illusion of choice creates a stronger buy-in from participants, even if they don't have a choice at all.

You can choose either one, or any other phone operating system. Nobody's obligated to make a popular phone operating system that satisfies all your desires.

  I didn't say anyone is obligated to make an open popular phone OS. I just asked what is my option if I dislike lockins and tracking.

Pixel + grapheneOS is the best middleground if you want.

Go off-piste and depend on unknown third parties running builds based on AOSP. But, some things "blobs" mainly, are probably unavoidable.
