This has been the conclusion I've been dragged kicking and screaming to over the last couple of years myself.
- If it's not FOSS it's spyware
- If it's got a camera it's probably going to a datacenter to run facial recognition and/or ALPR or similar
- If it requires a login they are modeling your behavior
Wear a mask and/or hat and sunglasses when outside
Don't drive
Don't carry a cell phone (if you're worried about emergencies, HAM licenses and 2M radios are cheap.)
Don't use non-free software
Don't use hosted centralized technology from Facebook and Google or similar.
