You're forgetting a privilege to have a cheap phone, free maps, free decent email provider, cheap usable computer etc. It's possible thanks to Google. Of course it's costly to transition the same way it would be costly to get those services if Google wasn't around.

> cheap phone

Had one before android existed.

> free decent email provider,

Still use the same I used before gmail was a thing.

> cheap usable computer etc

I cannot comprehend from what kind of twisted alternate reality this claim hails.

Or did you simply forget to mark your sarcasm with /s ?

Then you can use those options as Google didn't exist. The thing is the quality is so much better thanks to them people choose the products. The phone you had before Android wouldn't fulfill a purpose people buy phones these days. If you don't remember how much better Gmail was than email providers back in the day I don't know what to tell you.
