Exactly, there are plenty of other companies to go working for. People working for Google at best accept a compromise, at worst are actively working against their customers (should I say users?)

That said, as a customer I'm using an Android phone because IMHO anything else is a worse choice for a number of reasons. At least I'm signed out of any Google service except Play.

Yeah, that's enough, that logs you in on google play services, which has god mode on your phone.

Having play services (https://github.com/opengapps) on LineageOS is not like that. You can go to Privacy Guard and deny any permissions from Play Services.

Sure. Is it still in /system/priv-apps? If yes, you're wrong, it still has god mode.
